Tuesday, August 10 (Day 14!) - Saying Goodbyes...

We spent our final morning in South Surrey with Uncle Colin and Auntie Pat before they drove us to the Fairmont Hotel at the Vancouver Airport. We had a free night there courtesy of my sister and her husband (who just celebrated their anniversary - 10 years! Happy Anniversary Coco and Jon!!) who bought us a night at the hotel at a silent auction fundraiser a few months ago. Thanks Coco and Jon! The hotel was great and uber convenient as it is located literally at the airport. We had a 5 minute walk to check in for our flight the next morning! It doesn't get any easier than that. But I'm getting ahead of myself...

Saying goodbye to Uncle Coin and Auntie Pat was swift and easy, but I couldn't help but feel a little melancholy about leaving. We joked about finally giving them some peace and quiet (Constance can be quite rowdy when she wants to) and Uncle Colin told us to give a call in case we had any problems with our flight (because he wanted to be sure we actually left), but all joking aside...I had a lovely time and I will miss them. We don't get to see them - or any of the Thompson family for that matter - often enough. And I wish we did.
