On the sunny beautiful first day of spring we arrived at the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal an hour before our 5pm ferry.  A perfect chance to enjoy the rooftop patio of the restaurant across the street for a Stanley Park Amber Ale - on special for $4.50 served by some of the friendliest staff we'd seen the entire trip.  I'm really hoping it will be at least this warm when I visit Edmonton next week for Grandma's 95th birthday party.
