THAT MAZE RUNNER

Oh my goodness.

So I read all three Maze Runner books and the fourth to be released but first in the story prequel while I was on my way to/in/on my home from Colorado. They are amazing. Well, by the prequel I was skipping through a lot of the fighting sequences to get to the actual content that moved the plot forward. But the concept is amazing, the twists are really clever and I like it as an addition to the teen post-apocalyptic craze that is current literature. 

The movie came out last night.

So of course we went to see it this afternoon!!!

They had to change a few things to make it work for a movie audience, time frame and overall story telling purposes. Overall, I thought the changes were fine. There was nothing that made me question their ability to continue to tell the story as it was in the books moving forward. 

It was absolutely amazing. I will see it again. I will be anxiously awaiting the next movie.

Fatburger

We have taken Fatburger off of our favorite new restaurants list. Every time we go, we wind up disappointed with the quality of the burger! It would just leave us sad and wishing we'd walked all the way to the Five Guy's. 

I know this leaves us with a very unimpressive list of favorite places to eat. Here's the thing, we're stinking homebody's! We don't like going out for food, or if we do it's inevitably for a burger and we go to Five Guy's. Our grocery store adventures were stressful enough, but now provide us with a solid recipe list each week.

Alas, maybe we will start to go outside again one day soon.

Capilano Suspension Bridge

One of the coolest things I've seen, ever. First of all, Vancouver is one of the prettiest places I've ever been. It's all green, hills, huge trees, mountains, water. Oh my gosh it's just crazy gorgeous. Then the Capilano Suspension Bridge capitalizes on all of this in the most perfect way. It's not even that far out of the city. That's one of the other best things about Vancouver. You only have to drive for about 5 minutes to see all of this amazing beauty. Stanley Park is just at the end of downtown. There's smaller parks all around the apartment. Capilano was just a 30 minute drive north. It's outstanding. It's a kind of place I feel I could explore for a lifetime, but there will always be a prettier nook I haven't seen yet.

We went with the Becks up to the suspension bridge. It was a little rainy when we first got there, but the rain cleared and held off until we were leaving. Well, really the only thing to do here is look at all the pictures, so here they are!

Selfies are cuter, Jake!
