Fireworks on our last date before the Baby!!

I took Cammie out on Saturday night on what will probably be our last date before the arrival of Baby Thomas......and boy were there fireworks!!! ;-)
Every year Vancouver hosts the 'Celebration of Light' festival which is basically an international fireworks competition. Canada, U.S.A and China were all involved this year and I was lucky enough to get an invitation from one of my clients to go out into Vancouver Harbour on a luxury boat to watch the finale of the festival.....with the Vancouver City Skyline as the amazing backdrop. Hundreds of thousands of people turn out each night, most watching the fireworks from the beaches or high rise apartments surrounding the bay, but watching from the water with an open bar and buffet dinner was definitely a better way to go!!
Before dark and during dinner the boat took us on a tour of West Vancouver, which is home to some amazing multi million dollar waterfront mansions. After that we returned to the harbour to settle in for the fireworks show.
