Summer Holidays!

Sam is finally finished school and is on her summer vacation for the month of August. it sure is going to be something to get used to with this balanced calendar concept. We only have 4 weeks for vacation and then school starts. This month we each had our own adventures....Sam had her time with Wayne and I had a great girls weekend with my BFF Jen! Samantha flew to Ottawa with Wayne on his business trip and got the chance to visit for a week with the family. The Cassidy's haven't seen her in 3 years, with the exception of 'YaYa', aka Wayne's mom.

Now, I have quite an amazing friend in my BFF Jen, She surprised me with tickets to see Janet Jackson's first world tour celebrating all of her 35 number ones. We booked ourselves at The Georgian Court Hotel, had dinner on Robson and even squeezed some shopping in before we got ready for the concert. Janet put on an incredible show, she looked amazing and we loved the video clips she had running during her change times. She even did a touching tribute to Michael which made me cry a little - everyone appreciated it.

Saturday was spent shopping at Pacific Center Mall, where we continued our shopping expedition. We had dinner at Earls in Yaletown, then took a cab to Gastown with some friends for some all-night dancing. We had such an amazing weekend. I love our girls weekends away. Thanks BFF!
