A day out with parents

Talked about it for the longest time, did it once or twice, for the third time I took my parents out for some family time together with the nature.

I picked them up at 8:20am to have a morning stroll along the seawall at Stanley Park. Weather was very nice today. No clouds, just limitless blue skies - the typical kind of summer weather in Vancouver. We arrived and parked on the side of the road that goes around the park. The time was 9am.

It's still a little chilly this year round. Mom started talking about their vacation in HK. They spent 6 months there and just returned 2 weeks ago. She gave an update of my cousins, aunt, uncle, brother and his wife... Dad liked shopping there for the prices, sizes, and varieties. He also found out where to get those almond shortcakes that he hasn't tasted since he moved here.

We walked for an hour, past the Lady in a wet suit, Totem's place, water park, and decided to head back for a dim sum lunch. Dad was a bit slow and had to eat some snacks to charge up, but we managed to hop back on the car at 11:15am.

Dim sum at Golden Harvest (Main & 32th) was ok. The dried scallop with egg white fried rice was still a little greasy although we asked them use less oil. Anyway, food is not the main theme here... it's more about spending the time together.
