Vancouver

We had such a great time in Vancouver. What a pretty city. Here are a few pictures of us there and a couple of tips when visiting.

- Stanley Park - beautiful park with stunning views. Parking is not free. It cost us $2.50 for one hour. They accepted credit cards. Prospect point has a great view of the bridge. Make sure you also visit the totem poles. Right across the street from the poles you get a perfect view of downtown too.
- Gastown - didn't actually get to stop and walk around. Parking is paid and hard to find. Traffic is a little intense at times. Lots of shops to visit. Looked fun, but we just didn't have time to stop.
- Vancouver LDS Temple - not too far from the border if you're driving. Fun for temple buffs like me. This temple was #33 for me and #34 for the lady. Really small, but nice.
- Granville Island - great market with lots of delicious pastries, flowers and hand made artifacts. Free parking available. Bring cash for gifts. Most places didn't accept credit cards.
- Other places we didn't have time to visit: Queen Elizabeth Park and Christ Church Cathedral. We drove by the church and it was really pretty, but it started raining too hard and we just didn't feel like visiting a flowery park in the rain.

Week off

We are just so excited to be able to take the week off and come to Washington and spend some time with family. This is the first time we drive up from Utah together and the drive really wasn't too bad. I hope to post pictures (including some of the pregnant one, Katy) and some fun things we did by the end of the week. This trip will be a temple/ friends/ family visiting one, with a day trip to Vancouver, BC mixed in to add a little bit of extra fun. We will keep you posted.
