I hope you are all enjoying the beautiful weather we have been having lately.

It turned out to be such a warm, beautiful spring day, so we decided to keep the night going with a stroll down Robson Street for a sweet treat.

Happy Thursday which means Costco day after work. After a long day and a quick dinner at nearby T&T, we head to Costco on Expo Blvd in Downtown Vancouver. Hubby requested that we try the new Caramel Brownie Sundae so I could blog about it. It’s a great excuse, even though I’m well aware he just really wanted a sweet treat! The Heat Factor When the plastic cup was handed over, the first thing I noticed was that it was actually hot. Not just lukewarm—the caramel is definitely served hot, which creates a really distinct contrast with the soft serve. The first look at the new Caramel Brownie Sundae.
