if you’re following me on twitter you might know that i have been looking forward to some geocaching (if you are not following me, you should !). as i promptly tweeted “can’t wait for my first geocache hunt x 4:54 AM Apr 13th via web”. for those of you who don’t already know about geocaching, it is an outdoor activity in which you use a GPS to seek containers, called geocaches, that are hidden all over the world. it’s basically like a modern day treasure hunt! just use the internet to find geocaches around you, then use any sort of GPS-enabled device to locate them. or if you have an iphone, download the free geocaching app. bring a small item to put in the cache, and you can take an item from the cache when you find it! don’t forget to bring someone with you because it might be dangerous. also wear comfortable shoes because you never know where you might end up. so today i went on a geocache hunt!

this was easy to find. kudos for the protective color used, geocache hider!

i took the Dairy Queen butterscotch sundae lip balm, and put in a tiny winny the pooh toy.

since the first one was easy to find. we decided to take on another challenge. boy was this one a toughie! the GPS didn’t direct us to the exact location. we walked for about 30 minutes and looked for the cache for another 20! but i was very excited when i found it under the roots of this tree!

there’s a logbook in each cache you should sign!

it was my second time visiting sweet obsession. it is a cake shop/ café, located in a local neighbourhood on 16^th ave. they specialize in cakes, pastries, and desserts. and everything is made in house. sweet obsession and the sister restaurant, trafalgar’s bistro right next door, serve the exact same desserts. however you pay a bit extra for the ambiance in trafalgar’s. i wouldn’t say that all of their cakes are great, but i enjoyed my warm toffee cake, and the visit was certainly a pleasant one. so next time you need a sugar fix, give this place a visit! bon appetit =)

i hope you’ve had a fabulous easter weekend. unfortunately, due to my jet lag and some misunderstanding, this weekend has been pretty uneventful. so it basically feels like every other weekend to me. well, besides the fact that i have a cold, so it’s a bit worse than every other weekend. i guess these pictures are the highlights of my weekend. thanks patty! for making me look pretty in your pictures x
