Last weekend, myself, Crystal Kwon from Vancity Buzz, Dana Lynch from About.com and Inside Vancouver were flown out to Kamloops by Tourism BC and then huddled to Sun Peaks Resort by Tourism Sun Peaks for their summer Retro Rock Weekend.

It was fun times along with PR professional Sophia Cheng as we explored the beautiful snow resort in the summer, seeing nature, canoeing and doing other random activities.

I didn't realize how much Sun Peaks had to offer for a getaway.

The tribute cover bands were pretty solid with acts ranging from thoses mimicking  the likes of Bon Jovi, Led Zeppelin to The Rolling Stones and such.

They were scattered throughout the weekend and were the attraction for families in the village.

The weekend was a ton of fun especially spending time with Crystal and Sophia. A big thanks to Melanie and all the people of the resort town for a blast of a weekend.
