Hi Dave!
Just got back from a holiday in Washington State, that's why I took so long! Four kids in a van, hmm, think I'll pass, but thanks for the offer. Having spent the past week with my own two kids may have put me off travelling with children for a bit.
The show was terrific, lots to see. Drew and I did the tour and hit the LHS in the area. You probably won't have enough cash for the vendor area, but bring as much as you can. The rec centre is across from Metrotown, so there are ATMs close by.
My wife and I are doing pretty good actually. We really do need to meet up sometime. I'm back to working in Kelowna, so I don't get up to Vernon like I used to.
