Day 2 Vacation continued..


Jesse stayed up the night we got in, while I crashed out tired from the travel day. We woke and had coffee at Starbucks before anyone else even began moving. The game plan was to see the city of Vancouver. Jesse wanted me to get the whole experience by riding the sky train into town. Jeremy and Kim dropped us at the station and drove into town to meet us. It was very cool to see the town from above so I am glad we did it.
Once we arrived we waited for Jeremy and Kim and the 4 of us walked through Gas Town. Very cute!! There was also a bike show going on so that made it even more interesting. Once we were done walking around we then drove to Stanley Park. I was absolutely amazed by how many parks are in Canada. It was huge!! People were walking along the water and there was so much nature there. I was sad that Capone couldn't be there.. LOL
We finished up at the park and the 4 of us met Steve, Michelle and Ryder at Granville Island. You would be amazed at the size of the market place. You could buy almost any type of food imaginable there, including cooked and fresh food. Jesse was in heaven of course. We decided on the focaccia bread with olives and cheese, with a mushroom and spinach crepe. It was fabulous... The seagulls were a little more aggressive then the one's here, not to mention they were much louder.

Jeremy and Kim said goodbye and went back to the island so they could make it to work the next day. Steve and Michelle drove us around Vancouver and gave us some more sights to look at. We went back to the house around 3:30 for a short nap and did not wake until 7:00 for dinner. I guess you could say we were catching up from the time change. We ended up having Indian food that was very good and it came close to the restaurant here that we love. More to come.......
