Margo and Sarah hadn't been to the market since our last visit from Portland, about five years ago. Actually, our first stop was the kids' play area, but even Sarah conceded that jumping into a pool of plastic balls was for littler kids, so we browsed the aisles of the market. Margo stopped to get us some sausage and prosciutto from one stall, but otherwise we pretty much kept our money. Then we went for a sit and a sip at the Granville Island Brewery taproom.
After a chance to get our blood sugar levels back up, we returned to the market and boarded the AquaBus for a journey east to the end of False Creek, getting off at the Science World stop.
Apparently Sarah spotted a ... monster in the dark waters of the Creek. (See this for the origin ...)
As it happened, a dragon boat race was going on as we approached, so after disembarking, we watched it for a bit.
Next, we boarded the SkyTrain to nearly its last stop, to get an early dinner at Central City Brewing in Surrey, one of my favourite brewpubs. Here Sarah is enjoying her Shirley Temple cocktail.
Yes, little girl, enjoy your dessert. Enjoy it, for it is to be your LAST. For I am CRUSHING YOUR HEAD!
What's that? You cannot crush me! For I am ... ack ... ack ...
On the way back, Sarah was nice enough to drive us home.
I didn't tip though. It was Father's Day after all.
