We had a lot of fun in Vancouver, and the weather was great. Clear blue skies, nice warm weather, it was green everywhere we looked, flowers were blooming all over and there was a nice breeze coming off the ocean to keep it from getting too hot. Compare this to Lethbridge and Calgary when we left on Wednesday - 30cm or so of snow, grey skies, and temperatures around 0!
The first day we checked into our hotel, and the lady was nice enough to switch some things around so that we could check in early like we had hoped for. Even though the room did NOT have a view (it was of the adjacent apartment buildings/back of the hotel), it was a comfortable room. We did not need a good view in our room, as that is what getting out in the city was for. We stayed downtown, so had easy access to many different things to see.
Over the day and a half that we were there, we went to Chinatown, had some bubble tea, went to the aquarium and Stanly Park, as well as ate in Yorktown. The first restaurant we went to there was a nice Italian place, very comfortable, and really good food. The chefs even put some cheese on Chelsey's dish because she was craving a gnocchi with both tomatoes and baked cheese.
All in all, we had a lot of fun in Vancouver, and we are sad we only had limited time to stay here and see things. It is a beautiful city, many people here take advantage of it and bike or walk all over the place. We also thought the people were very friendly and helpful. When the taxi dropped us off that first day, we could not find the doors to the hotel even though we were right in front of them, and someone kindly pointed to them before we got too far away with over 200 pounds of luggage. We hope to come back to Vancouver one day and spend more time here.
