Vancouver BC Vacation- Day 4


Today was our last day in Vancouver! Our train was leaving at 5:00 pm, so we still had a full day to hang out. So what did we do, shop shop and shop some more! Nothing wrong with that!!!

At the end of our trip, Eddie and I noticed just a few differences about Canada compared to the U.S:

1. Eddie could hear that they all have accents, I only noticed it once, and I am pretty sure he was Australian. So, I don't think that counts...

2. Everyone is really nice. Like painfully nice. Everyone wanted to be helpful and chit chat. I think Seattle is normally nice, but nothing compared to Vancouver!

3. There are no toilet seat covers! Barely any to be seen! And being the American girl I am, I of course lined the seat with toilet paper.

Otherwise, I didn't see much of a difference. All I know is that we had a great time! Couldn't have asked for a better vacation!

Vancouver BC Vacation- Day 3



This day we decided it was time to see what Stanley Park is all about! We walked there from our hotel and once we got there, we decided to rent bikes to ride around the park and to the aquarium! The aquarium has Belugas... And I LOVE Belugas, so I was excited! (See me excited with a mom and her baby behind me)



Another fun busy busy day walking around the city!

Vancouver BC Vacation- Day 2



Today I got up early and went on a run, then we got ready and walked all around the city. It was really pretty out, so we walked to a place called Granville Island. It is really cute there and could be compared to a more secluded Pike Street Market. 

We walked all around Granville Island and then realized we can take an Aqua Bus home. So, of course we did that. It is really a boat you can take to all parts of the city. It was very fun!




After the aqua bus, we went to Vancouver's version of the Space Needle. It had a great view of he city!





We then continued to run around the city, shopping and trying to get to every part. At night we went out to a great dinner and then went dancing!

Vancouver BC Vacation- Day 1


Eddie and I went to Vancouver BC for a fun vacation! We took the train up which was so fun!

We got there pretty early and had a whole day to hang out! We walked all around the city, did some fun shopping and hung out. All of this before the hockey game! We went to the Vancouver Canucks game! Eddie got us great tickets and it was fantastic! The Canucks played the LA Kings and won 1-0! 

Afterward we went out and had a great time! It was a fantastic first day of our vacation!

Hike!



Eddie and I went on a hike up Rattle Snake Ridge today! It was a great little hike. It is about an hour up and an hour down. The top of the hike had a beautiful view! Closer to the top there was still quite a bit of snow, so that created a lot of mud. It was an obstacle course for sure. 

It was a fantastic day to go on a hike! Loved it!



Lindsay's Birthday!


Saturday night we went out to celebrate Lindsay's Birthday!!!

We all had dinner and drinks at Paddy Coins in Bellevue. After that we went to the Parlor and watched a comedy show. Some guy named Carlos Oscar and he is very funny. We danced the rest of the night and had a GREAT time!

Shelby's Birthday Party


Friday night we went out for Shelby's birthday party! She had the upstairs of Amber for the party and it was great! We had a great time! It was good to hang out with Shelby! Our lives are always so busy, it is hard to find an excuse to hangout. And this was a great excuse!
