Wandering the west coast

I know what're thinking.

"Kimberly, you embark on a cross-country chicken adventure and you leave us at 'Happy Canada Day'?"

I KNOW, I know, and I do apologize for keeping you in the dark this past week about what's happening in BEE CEE! But despite my bloggin' bein' a little inactive, the May Family Farms Promo Team is NOT.

Since we last spoke to ye on Canada Day, we've done two events - one at the Save on Foods grocery store in Surrey,

and another at the Overwaitea Head Office in Langley.

Whether you were an 8-year-old kid looking for some Big Original lovin',

or an employee at Overwaitea not too chicken to try the latest fashion trend,

every customer had the choice between a lime and herb, a mediterranean, or a shwarma-flavoured wrap, OR...AND even, a chicken dog or salsalitta chicken thigh on a bun. Can I get a YUM YUM?

We did the Overwaitea Head Office event last year and I was surprised to actually come across some familiar faces! Plus, I ALMOST forgot the ultimate joy that the idea of free prizes brings people.

The price is right, people - you don't have to be a kid to get excited about PLINKO!

Tomorrow will bring us to another head office where Plinko will definitely be making another appearance, but we'll be wrappin' up some delicious tunes for Thrifty Foods - and this time, we're in VICTORIA!!!

We took the big rig back on the ol' ferry this morning and sailed our way even MORE westward. Man. I took SO many pictures. I did it last year, I did it this year, and I'm sure I will do it for many more years to come, from every possible angle from that boat. But I'm telling you, they will NEVER be able to do the view justice. Such a BEAUTIFUL scene of blue and green and sparkling Pacific water below us. AHOY!

Good lookin' crew

But now, it's 7:30 BC time and Victor is chillin' in his room down the hall. The boys are picking up some cases of sliced deli at the Thrifty's yonder, and Melissa is doing the responsible thang and doing laundry. I WILL get to that...eventually...yes.

Currently, I'm typing to you from a room inside the Quality Inn Waddling Dog hotel in on the island. We actually stayed here last year and it's CRAZAY because I never imagined I would ever be back here again! It's actually the quirkiest place one could ever spend a night and I'm glad my travels have lead me back to this gem of a hotel.

It looks like an old Victorian cottage on the inside and out, and I swear to you that Sherlock Holmes will walk into my room any minute on the hunt for some fingerprints. The best part though, is the resident mascot basset hound who wanders the halls like he owns the place. HA!

Tomorrow we'll be eating breakfast in the "library" and I'm rather excited to jam out on the out-of-tune piano. But for now, I shall retire for some time in front of the Family Channel like I'm the 8-year-old...as the mountains stand in silent majesty outside this old-fahioned bay window.

AH. Yes. Gotta love west coast livin'.
