Chinese Lantern Festival

On Friday night Kevin and I did a double date with Roland and his new girlfriend Jessica. My first reaction was that he wants to make a nice impression on this new girl and he's introducing her to ME??!! He's nuts ^__^"

We went to Tako Sushi for a quick dinner and then went down to Ontario Place to see the Chinese Lantern Festival. First off - it was ridiculously expensive, even with the group discount coupon! But the pavilions were quite pretty and I was amused with all the panda lanterns. They even had a little marketplace where they sold typical Beijing-style street food and had some vendors selling parasols, silk purses and other "Asian" stuff. We took some beautiful photos - hurray for having my sexy camera back!

Today the QMIS stuff went out for lunch to wish Frances and Josephine farewell. Frances had been around almost as long as I have so it's sad to see her go, but she's moving on to more interesting things. That doesn't mean we won't still have our girly days :)
