Celebrating a Birthday


Yesterday was my dear friend Rachael's 26th birthday, so out for dinner and merriment we went. For dinner we went to Mandalay in Steveston Village and had a great time. The first time we went there was without reservations, and they were very busy so we had to sit at the bar. While the food was great (try the Moo Shu Crabcakes!), the sitting was so awkward, so I recommend making reservations if it is a weekend night. Last nights food was fantastic, service was great, and everyone had a great time.

Afterwards, most of us went walking along the boardwalk and they were apparently filming for the television show "Life Unexpected". I have watched that show once, but could not really get into. I had no idea that they filmed it locally, and apparently the high school in the show is Cambie High, which is pretty cool. I was hoping that they were filming "Supernatural" because if they were, I definitively would have tried to get a closer look.

There were massive spotlights overhead by the water, so we took advantage of the lights to get some neat photos.

The first picture was taken by Tim (fiance), and Rachael gets credit for the outfit one.
