Hey Slif-ers!
Sorry about the sudden halt in posts. I've had a wacky run over the last few weeks of being sick, weather issues as well as doing a final excise of the virus that's been messing with my desktop for the last few months.
I'm aiming to living up to the "Daily" name of this blog again by Wednesday or Thursday. Until then, thanks for your patience!

bread company (kelowna)
After dropping my parents off at the airport, I was now free to explore the Okanagan to my heart's content. First step? Find some breakfast! We were driving around downtown Kelowna after our dinner at Raudz and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a little shop called The Bread Company. I'm an absolute sucker for breads so I knew I had to hit them up.
The other great thing about Kelowna? Pay street parking doesn't start until 9 AM! Outstanding.
I went inside and found myself staring at a huge menu of pastries, hot and cold breakfast items, a number of lunch sandwiches and of course, a bread menu. As I had a big day of driving to look forward to so I didn't want anything too protein heavy, and I absolutely love pancakes so I asked the counter clerk for a recommendation. She immediately encouraged me to get the banana-walnut pancakes. Who am I to argue?

tantalus / mission hill wineries (kelowna)
Just a head's up, I didn't actually eat at the following wineries, but I thought it would complete the whole package to at least mention them, and the reasons they stood out for me.
Tantalus Vineyard
Tantalus Vineyard was one of my favourite visits of the whole trip - not for the reason you would think too! Hidden away in the hills of Kelowna's wine country, it's frighteningly easy to drive past the winery and not realize it's there. We actually ended up driving past it 3 times before we finally figured out this little dirtroad was the entrance! My GPS was absolutely no help as it didn't recognize that civilization existed in this part of town. Epic. Fail.
