A visit to Vancouver

On Monday we were up and out the door shortly after 9 and headed down the Sea to Sky highway to Vancouver. Beautiful views the whole way.

Mike's brother Rob, drives for a transit company; and we met him on his lunch break. We ended up sitting in a park near Commercial and Grant; and spent a good half hour catching up. Rob's break came to an end; and back to work he went.

We however, had another stop to make. Our good friend Sally's daughter lives in this neighbourhood; and just had a baby girl back in November. So after stopping to buy a yellow stuffed elephant for baby Jubilee; we met Leslie and then stopped and shared a pizza.

Next, we took a self-guided tour of downtown Vancouver. We drove past the Pan Pacific hotel; drove through Gas Town; along west Hastings for a bit; and then eventually over to Stanley Park. We drove the perimeter of the park and took lots of loops along the way; plus when there was something nice to look at, we got out and looked around, took some pictures; and then moved on.

Once we left the park; we drove over the Lions Gate Bridge. Beautiful sites all around; and the sun glistening off the mountains, made things really pretty. We drove over to the Capilano Suspension bridge, but it was pretty pricey to walk across.

We only get one station, the CBC, at our park. And of course the NHL playoffs are happening right now. So, I'm pretty sure we watched a hockey game after supper and before heading off to bed.

Another perfect day on the West Coast. Take a look at our pictures.
