Vancouver finally turned on the sunshine as we explored Stanley Park. So many things to see and do, that we timed out and will have to add it to the future bucket list. The English Bay area reminds me of St Kilda, downtown has skylines akin to New York City, apartments near Stanley Park are reminiscent of Hong Kong’s peak living, all set against the backdrop of beautiful mountains. It is a spectacular and friendly city.
As we get to the last few days of our trip that awful feeling of so much to do and so little time to do it, starts to sink in. Hiking, biking, walking across suspension bridges…I will just have to add it to the bucket list for next time. The focus of our trip was to have quality family time and that is all that matters.

Day trippers

Downtown

The world famous Japadog

We *had* to stop and try it

Smells delicious

Tastes even better!

Off to Stanley Park with lovely waterfront views

Cool totem poles

Each with a special story

Going for a nice walk along the sea wall

Past the lighthouse

Back to the totem pole park

Singing nursery rhymes (incorrectly)…”sing a song of six pence, a pocket full of flies…”

Definitely on the bucket list for next time

Having fun at Prospect Point

All snug in his bear suit

Listening to music

Enjoying the beautiful views

We heart Canada

Next stop, late lunch

At a yummy dumpling place

Followed by daddy airplane

And basking in the sun

After lunch comes big family dinner with the Canadian branch

And lots of cuddles and presents from the Aunties!

A family favorite

Capping off a brilliant family day out

He agrees!
