Every summer we head over the Vancouver for a short trip to see friends and experience the big city. We stay downtown in a hotel and walk a lot, take transit and explore. There is so much to do in Vancouver.

We visited the updated Art Gallery of Vancouver Plaza and did some shopping on Robson. So much to look at! We walked along Denman Street and went to English Bay. Claire & Rhys really enjoyed the art installation there. We went to the gelato place where there are hundreds of flavours to choose from. We even took Claire to an all girls skate meet-up which she enjoyed.

We also went to the Vans bowl series skateboard competition at Hastings skate park. We have attended the past two years but this year it was SO crowded and the kids were overwhelmed so Jimmy stayed and hung out with his friend Dustin and the kids & I drove to North Vancouver to spend time with our friend Tash and her children. Claire & Rhys hit it off with Sully and Crosby and baby Liv is a sweet-heart.

We stayed an extra night at Jordan and Dustin’s house and had a really great visit with Faye, Niels and our friend Jessica who was visiting from New York with her children.

It was a great adventure!
