Blue Ribbon in Vegas

We loved our meal at Blue Ribbon Sushi at the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas. For some in our group it was a true dining adventure -- our friends from Texas and Denver had definitely never had eel or jellyfish before!
The restaurant was very accommodating to our group of 8, especially when there was a mix up with the number of people in our reservation. The sushi selection was great, especially the rolls and the wings with honey and wasabi marinade were delicious. Our waiter topped off the evening with a surprise sake bomb for my brother in law's 40th. It was a true celebration at that point. Had the Cosmopolitan not been so crowded, we could have stayed there all night!

Hiking in Pacific Rim National Park

Hiking in Pacific Rim National Park: Here is more from our B.C. trip in 2010. This article slipped through the cracks, but here it is!

Long Beach
From the rainforest to the ocean, clients can explore the interpretive trails of Pacific Rim National Park nestled along the southwest coast of Vancouver Island and backed by the Vancouver Island Mountain Range. With a rugged coastline and a temperate rainforest, the park is spread over 197 square miles on a thin strip of coastline near Tofino, B.C., and made up of three major areas: Long Beach, the Broken Group Islands, an archipelago of more than 100 islands accessible by boat, and the West Coast Trail.
