A few months ago, some friends and I decided we should plan a "girls weekend" to celebrate our birthdays: mine (jan) pam (feb) kim (march) elisa (april). We booked a hotel up at Harrison Hot Springs, a quiet, scenic, tourist town about 40 mins from Abbotsford, and finally our weekend-of-fun arrived!!!
Here we go!!!! Pam, Kim and I headed out and Elisa met us up there.
Beautiful!! We're on a lake, surrounded by mountains wherever you look. We lucked out with the weather and scored 2 sunny days, a wonderful break from the winter rainy season we've been experiencing.
We had a mellow day Saturday, hanging out, shopping in the tourist shops, drinking coffee, and sitting around our hotel room chatting. We had a great dinner out at a pub (where i could keep an eye on the Canucks game!!) and then relaxed in the hotel hot tub and ate some junk food!!!
Sunday morning we went for a little walk before Elisa had to head out and the other 3 of us played tourist a while longer.

Where did all the table tops go??? I thought this was a funny scene - do they take the tops and benches in for the winter????!!!!!
On the way home, since it was such a beautiful day, we stopped in at Westminster Abbey, the monestary up in Mission. It's been a long time since i've been up there, but it's a pretty cool place.
You walk a short path and you get a great view of the valley
Some great stained glass in the chapel, windows of all sorts of colors but i accidentally just included a pic of the blue windows here...there were some other windows that were yellow, orange and red that were super cool
all in all, a fabulous weekend, relaxing and hanging out with great friends!!!!!

Yes, they do take the tops off so they don't get too weathered in the winter.
