The Pacific Penthouse was amazing, and if I didn’t have a deadline – or check out time – I would have moved right in. Hosting happy hour at the outdoor kitchen, next to the hot tub on one of the three decks; pulling a bottle of BC VQA out of the wine fridge and curling up on the couch; working out of the fully connected office in the morning then following up with a few rounds on the roof-top putting green; calling up to-die-for room service with a smile; slipping into a fluffy bathrobe and heading down to the Le Sooke Spa for a treatment; collapsing into a mound of plush pillows in the king size bed at the end of a long day of pampering.

This Father’s Day weekend, Best Buy on Cambie will be hosting a free workshop event where anyone is welcome to design and build their own, customized, one-of-a-kind Father’s Day gift with the help from Google MakeLab’s laser printer!
