If Grapes Were...

If grapes were birds, this would be an ostrich.

If grapes were cars, this would be a Suburban.

If grapes were countries, this would be Russia.

If grapes were mountains, this would be Mount Everest.

If grapes were tedious, repetitive blog posts, this grape would be this post. :P

Mont-Tremblant

Sorry for the blurry video! My iPhone has trouble focusing on distant landscape, obviously. Time for a 4S, I think. :)



Our hotel at Mont-Tremblant overlooked a lake:



This picture was taken from the shoreline next to the hotel, which we didn't realize at the time was a whole separate piece of property. And there I was, telling Allison, "Oh, don't worry, I'm sure this is just a hotel banquet area for weddings and stuff."

After this picture was taken, I saw someone walking around in a bathrobe in the "banquet hall" behind us and realized that we were in someone's yard!

Scenes from a Mall

There's a mall near our house called Fairview that we go to a lot for shopping, food, movies, etc. Today, Allison and I went by there to get sandwiches and coffee and we noticed a new Lego Store had opened up.



The Lego Store is heavily Star Wars-themed right now. This is the Death Star at the top and an imperial destroyer on the bottom. If the lighting was better (or if I was a better photographer) you'd be able to see a little lego tie-fighter in the hangar in the top part of the Death Star. (Luckily, what I lack in photography skill, I more than make up for in dorkism.)



This is the Fairview Apple Store. I've heard that the windows of the Apple Store downtown was covered with condolences written on Post-Its. Here, there were just some flowers and candles.

If superheroes were real, I think Richard Branson could be Batman and Steve Jobs would've been Iron Man. RIP real-life Tony Stark. :(
