269th New Thing - Went to Capilano Suspension Bridge

I was on vacation so I didn't have time to post the last few nights, therefore I'm posting this late as this occurred 3 days ago (Sun 7/15/12).

We were in the northwest in the Washington State area for a few days so Matt and my 2 Chicago friends drove up to Canada for the day. We went to Vancouver British Columbia. First, we drove about 1 hour from the Bellingham WA north to through border patrol and to Vancouver. Then we walked around our hotel area in the Yaletown area for a bit to have some lunch on a patio with some live street music. Next we went to Stanley Park for some great views of the city and some cricket watching. Then we drove up to North Vancouver to Capilano Suspension Bridge. This is a suspension bridge built in 1889 crossing the Capilano River that is 446 feet long and 230 feet above the river. The original bridge was constructed of hemp rope and cedar planks, today's bridge is made of reinforced steel safely anchored in 118 tons of concrete. It is part of a private facility, with an admission fee (C$33.95/person), and draws over 800,000 visitors a year. The admission fee gives you access to the serenity of a West Coast rain-forest, Capilano Suspension Bridge, Treetops Adventure, Cliffwalk, Boardwalk, and Totem Park. The day offered a unique mix of adventure, history, and culture making this a complete British Columbia experience!

111th New Thing - Took a Zyrtec

If you recall, I went to the dermatologist to get a skin screening for the 1st time back in December. When I was there, the doctor did a biopsy of 1 of the moles on my back (which came back as normal, by the way). The area was healing pretty well until about 2 weeks ago. The area around the wound started getting bigger instead of smaller and oozing. Therefore, I went back to my doctor to check it out. She said I was having an allergic reaction to something, probably the Neosporin . She gave me some new ointment, Vanos , and said I should take Zyrtec until the area starts to get better. Vanos (fluocinonide) Cream is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses in patients. Best results are seen if used twice per day. Zyrtec (cetirizine) is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. Zyrtec can be u...

361st New Thing - Tried on Wedding Dresses

I didn't have time to post the last night, therefore I'm posting this late as this occurred yesterday (Mon 10/15/12). My friend and I went to David's Bridal last night to try on some wedding dresses. I looked on their website a few months ago to get a feel of the type of dresses I like. There are 6 styles: Classic & Traditional, Chic & Modern, Elegant & Luxurious, Glamorous & Dramatic, Destination, and Reception. I like Classic & Traditional the best. There are 5 silhouettes to choose from: A-Line, Ball Gown, Mermaid/Trumpet, Sheath, and Short. I like A-Line the best. I'm considering straps or strapless. It took about 1.5 hours to try on 5 dresses. I liked 2 of the dresses I tried on, both were under $350. My goal is to find one under $200. Here is one of the 'favorites' that I saw online. It is hard to tell if I would or wouldn't like it on myself. What did you do today?
