Snow.

We finally got some snow last Thursday.  I guess we can't complain, it's not often that the first snowfall holds off until mid November.  It did wreak havoc on traffic though.  It took me 1 hour and 5 minutes to drive 8 measly kilometres to work.  It took a lot of will power to not park my car, hop out and walk.  Anyway, the wintry weather had me reminiscing about our recent trip to Comox where we did what we do best.... EAT.

The following picture was taken to warn those of you who frequent the Calgary International Airport to not waste your hard earned money on the air hockey table.  Twice now, we've been duped by this game.  The first time, the game refused to turn on after we'd put our money in.  The second time, it turned on but the puck was missing.  

The Elvis pinball machine was a better bet.  It not only worked, but the game kept on going and going and going...

A stop at Sieffert's Farm to pumpkin gaze and pick up fresh vegetables for supper

Goose Spit.

Actually, I don't know if they really do spit, but that's the name of this lovely and very windy place.

Where we stopped for lunch in Cumberland.  The man next to my on the plane recommended this restaurant.  Am I ever glad we followed his suggestion.  

This place had the best cheesecake I've ever tasted.
