Nickelback 2010

Just home from the best time.  My friend Gerry came over from Gabriola and we went to the Nickelback concert

I picked her up at the ferry and we went right downtown for a great walk in Stanley Park then checked into the Wedgewood Hotel.


its a lovely boutique hotel on Robson so very close to the best shopping Vancouver has to offer


Then off for a lunch at Milestones

spanish coffee


mint mohito


artichoke and spinach dip

dry ribs

bocconcini salad

I was having so much fun drinking and eating I didn't even remember to take pics until we had already dove in

then more shopping at Holt Renfrew and


robson street







ok I sooooo want this

then back to the hotel for drinkies



 then off to dinner at Earls

started with scotch on the rocks this time, can't even remember what Gerry had to drink this time


scotch

calamari

and I totally forgot to take pics of dinner, Gerry had a lovely pesto pizza and I had a tasty salad of some type, it had carmalized walnuts and goat cheese which I love, but again I forget
 
then back to the hotel to get organized for the concert...and more drinkies, I just love drinkies







a quick cab ride to GM Place



they started off about this far away, we could have been right up with them but I hate crowds, and I like to dance so I stay a bit back

then they came down their extended stage and where alot closer


this drummer put on the very best solo I have ever seen, you can see his 3rd drum set rose into the air


We had sooooo much fun, food, drinks, floor concert, awesome hotel and shopping, it was exactly what the doctor ordered





if I find Gerry has better pics i'll post some more later

then we topped off today with an always yummy bacon and egg breakfast at the hotel. Forgot my camera, what a silly blogger I was just having too much to remember to take pics. From there checked out took Gerr Bear to the ferry and off back home

missed you all
