Title: Vacation
Post by: iago on May 09, 2007, 10:08:38 am
So for the last week, this is what happened:

Thursday: friend arrived in Calgary, went to the pub

Friday: I took off work to go to Drumheller, AB (including the "Royal Tyrell Museum" and "Reptile World"). I haven't been there since I was a kid, so it brought back some memories. Drumheller is a major place for paleontology, one of the best sites in the world, and that's what the museum is dedicated to: dinosaurs.

Saturday: Went to Banff. I also haven't been in the mountains since I was a kid, so it was cool too. We did a little shopping, and some hiking briefly. We looked at the hotsprings, which, it turns out, is a swimming pool that happens to use mountain water (chlorinated and full of people.. totally not cool).

Sunday: Went to the Calgary Zoo for the day. Was awesome.

Monday: Worked all day, then went to concert in the evening: Kataklysm, DevilDriver, Unearth, and Dimmu Borgir. It was awesome, I love all those bands (mostly DevilDriver, and leastly Unearth).

Tuesday (yesterday): Did some shopping, stocked up on pudding and yogurt. Bought a book shelf and some other junk. Also got some ice cream from a place call The Marble Slab Creamery. It was the most amazing ice cream I ever had! It's made fresh in the store, as are the cones, and it's mixed with topping (on a marble slab)! It was unbelievable...

Today: Sleep all evening. My friend leaves today.

My friend took a ton of pictures, which are forthcoming, likely in a couple weeks.

On the subject of pudding, I made a chocolate cream pie yesterday. It was awesome.

I realized recently that the title for this thread is stupid. I didn't take a vacation. I did take Friday off (in lieu of a day I worked without pay), but that's hardly a vacation.

The vacation was my friend's, who came here from Winnipeg.

I'm pretty sure.

My aunt has Mable Slabs in Austin, she saw our Coldstone & said it was pretty similar.
...maybe owners split once?

Winnipeg has a place called that where they come to your house and pick up dog shit.. guessing it's not the same company.

Yeah, they're basically the same thing.. Cold Stone's hella popular here, but I go to Marble Slab now because I know someone who works there and can make me free stuff :p
