Vancouver, BC, Canada
We ended our vacation in Vancouver, BC. What a wonderful city! We stayed 2 nights in the West End (English Bay area).

   

In Heathrow we discover Gabriel's feather collection stinks!
We rented bikes & cycled around lovely, fresh Stanley Park.
From the park, we had great views of the city and water.
We really loved Vancouver. I especially liked the trees and plants.
A quick stop for a photo.
The Empress of Japan? We thought the Little Mermaid followed us.
Each turn of the cycle path revealed a great view.
Our first full day in Vancouver was a good day for everyone.
 
Novel idea for a water park! Gabriel like the blast of air.
Lots of kids were having fun in the water park.
Vancouver's Stanley Park has so many attractions and resources.
Practicing bagpipes in the park.
Getting the lid on straight.
What a coincidence!
Storey came from Seattle to have lunch and Cosmopolitans with Wedgies.
Gabriel needed a nap at the hotel.
What a cute ferry & boy!
Bye-bye!
Much better than a bridge.
Short ferry rides to Granville Island is quite fun and efficient.
Lots of high rise condos in Vancouver and more are being built.
But nature is so close, too.
Hanging with the locals in the airport terminal.
Gabriel is trying to look dead.
He looks silly instead.
Chocolate moose, anyone?
