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.

Vancouver BC Temple

I believe this is Christ Church Cathedral
