adam and i have a list of local communities to explore and first up was beautiful steveston.  spent good friday shopping, eating, walking along the boardwalk, and of course, taking pictures!  here’s a few of the highlights of the day, including our favourite new spots.  do you have any favourite things to do in steveston?

this quesadilla from cimona cafe was seriously filling, could have been shared!  packed full of vegetable goodies like squash.  definitely recommend for cheap, casual eats!

how could we go an entire day without a caffeine hit?  we’d heard lots of great things about rocanini coffee roasters  and the hype is all true!

    That last photo of you two is disgustingly adorable. Looks like you two had a great day. I love Steveston. I was going to suggest that you tweet embarrassing photos of Adam, but you might lose followers because of that. Just kidding! πŸ˜‰

      Haha it's be worth losing a few followers for πŸ˜‰

    Hey, I just had a staycation in Toronto a couple of weeks ago, and it was so great. You get to do all the things you've been putting off, enjoy your own city, and it looks you've really enjoyed yourself. πŸ™‚

    Exploring cities is probably one of my favorite past times. Besides reading a book πŸ˜€ Also, I really like your nail polish! I almost picked up the same color the other day but realized I had been buying too much nail polish as of late, haha.

    You two are such a handsome couple!

    • Alicia April 12, 2012 at 11:54 pm

      Thanks Miss Chaucee!! I hear you on the nail polish, I've banned myself from purchasing any new colours haha. Hope all is well with you πŸ™‚
