This was the most unique dining experience I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re willing to try something new; it will change your outlook… pun intended!
This experience warranted its own post, as I have never before had a dinner quite like our last in Vancouver.

After a trip to Capilano, we had to make our way to the nearby Grouse Mountain. There was so much to discover and more hiking than we had time for. We’ll have to go back sometime!
While somewhat a tourist attraction, if you find yourself in Vancouver, you’ll want to check out the views from atop Grouse Mountain.

Bridges and boardwalks and trees, oh my!
While I would have preferred to get in earlier, it was still a fun experience!
If you find yourself in Vancouver B.C., chances are, you’ll wind up checking out the famous Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. To be frank, this is a tourist attraction (which I tend to shun). However, this was interesting enough to draw us in, and the resulting verdict was that it was worth the visit.

I love the tiny discoveries in a new city. This filled me with a fascination so simple and true… reminding me it’s the little things in life that are worth living for!
If you’re anything like me, a little child still resides in your heart, excited to pop out when the world manages to amaze an experienced and jaded mind. This child oohs and aahs at simple mechanics and perfect patterns, tiny memories of less complicated times.

Stanley Park offers acres of forest to explore, play, and exercise. And the best part? The locals are really friendly and happy to chat you up!
One of the highlights of our brief jaunt in Vancouver was Stanley Park, a vast, 1001-acre public park that dominates the peninsula north of downtown Vancouver. It’s mostly old, dense forest (many trees are hundreds of years old), and it features bike paths and trails spidering throughout. It’s understandably a popular destination for daily exercisers.

Switching gears once more, we thought we’d give you a taste of our adventures in another place: Vancouver, BC. A long drive, a beautiful city, and a midnight fire scare.. welcome to Vancouver!
Overall, we found Vancouver B.C. to be a very welcoming city. After all, it appeared to have more tourists than residents, spanning the entire globe. And it was quite the destination for Canada Day celebrations.

While my first trip outside the U.S. was Japan, this was my second, believe it or not. A mere six-hour drive from Portland, and you can escape the U.S. for Canadian hospitality. We took a long weekend for the Fourth of July holiday and ended up celebrating Canada Day on July 1st. It was something truly special as they really know how to be patriotic. We hit all of the tourist areas and also hit up some amazing places within the city. We enjoyed great food and stayed in a mid-rise apartment building with a view of the city. I left thinking, why didn’t I do this sooner? Continue reading “Our First Canada Adventure – Vancouver B.C.”
While on our first trip together to Canada, I wanted to try a driving timelapse video of our journey. It is about a 5-6 hour drive from Portland to the beautiful Vancouver B.C. area. It was an amazing trip and I hope to get up there again sometime. Enjoy! Continue reading “Portland to Vancouver B.C. Timelapse”
