Vancouver, BC - the Olympic city

After our cruise, we decided we just had to make a trip to Vancouver, BC. The city will host the Olympics in February so we really wanted to see the sights. We rented a car, drove from Seattle and across the border to our northern neighbor. Our hotel was right in the heart of the city. We walked downtown, made a trip down Robson Street (a famous shopping street), saw BC Place, GM Place (where the Vancouver Canucks play) and walked a ways down to Gastown, the historic part of Vancouver. The next day we were feeling adventurous, so we rented roller blades and spent the afternoon blading around the seawall in Stanley Park. I thought I was this awesome blader but apparently that was when I was 14. It took some getting used to, but by the end, we were total pros!

And he's off...


Made it all the way around the seawall injury free!
