Did I mention it rains a lot in Vancouver?
It does. It rains. A lot.
Luckily for us most of the city's famed aquarium is indoors so, weather be damned, I was able to make the acquaintance of this fine fellow on Friday.
And then, miracle of all miracles, Saturday dawned mercifully clear and we were able squeeze in a forest walk at the Capilano Suspension Bridge...
A bike ride around the seawall at Stanley Park...(hey, that helmet was mandated by law!)...
And some soaking in the sunshine and stunning skyline.
Just got home a few hours ago, in time to put Graham to bed. You'd hardly know that I spent half my time away fantasizing about hugging him and soaking in his sweet sunshine.
But more on that later...

I'm just going to pout quietly to myself. Oh, who am I kidding....
I SHOULD BE IN THOSE PICTURES WITH YOU!
Tattoo my number on your forehead, okay?
I am SO loving all your accessories in these shots! Purse, helmet, sunglasses... ; )
GOD I love Vancouver. and you, of course
When I first moved to Toronto I was so used to everyone wearing helmets while cycling. Not only helmets - cycling gear too.
7 years later and I still do the double take when I see someone in work clothes (ie. a dress) and no helmet on a bike in the middle of the city.
Looks like a great fun weekend.
Glad you had fun in Vancouver ... and that the rain finally let up! Very cool shot of you and that turtle. LOVE the aquarium there.
Next time hopefully you can bring Graham too, it's a great city for kids.
I got stuck on that Suspension Bridge when I was in grade 6.
It was one of the scariest things in my life, EVER.
I'm now wishing that we would have stopped in Vancouver in our whirlwind tour of North America. The place looks like a dream.
Looks beautiful...and so do you.
It is so beautiful where you live!!!!
sounds like a fantastic day!
Great pics! Makes me want to go!!
Ohh looks like fun! Welcome home!
I love those sunglasses! ;)
Glad you are home safe with your sweet boy.
Great photos, looks like fun! But I hate the suspension bridge. Scares me:)
Lovely pictures DMD. Lovely.
It's been almost 20 years since I've been to Vancouver . . . I would SOOOOOO love to go again! It's so beautiful. Hope you had a great time!
AND, we wouldn't be mommies if we didn't think of our kids every minute we were away from them ;-)
It sounds and LOOKS like you guys had a great time..
I love the pig tails!!!
Wow! What a perfect day!
Sounds like it was beautiful and a lot of fun. I'd love to visit some day!
Vancouver is on my list of "must sees". Looks like you had a great time!
I am glad the sun made an appearance before you left.
Beautiful. I miss having a good aquarium nearby to visit. That was one of the perks of growing up in Oregon.
That looks like a little town in Europe--just amazing :)
Looks like a great weekend - despite a day of rain! Great pictures of your guys too!
Take care, Kelly - see you soon - Kellan
I've been on that bridge! I love Vancouver--it's just gorgeous.
It will be wonderful to be back with your baby--absence definitely makes the heart grow even fonder!
A TURTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry - distracted. I love them.
Sounds like you had a great trip, rain and all. I bet you're glad to be home with Graham though. :)
The last photo? Three blocks from where I live. :P
Hmmm. I like the coach handbag on the bike, didn't it throw off your balance?
I love the pictures. Looks like you guys had a great time!
I so love Vancouver! They have so many fun things for kids to do, especially during the Halloween season, like haunted ghost train rides :).
Last weekend, my husband, son and I went to Burnaby Central Railway. My son, who's 6 and loves trains, went wild, and the weather was awesome. Here's the review where I found out about it: http://www.sharesavvy.ca/cities/vancouver/reviews/480.
Next time your there, check it out!
In a Vancouver-state-of-mind,

Looks like you guys had a great time...rain and all :) You are brave to cross the Capilano Suspension Bridge! I did it in '92 and there was a guy at the middle of the bridge, wrapping duct tape on the rails and when he saw the horror in my eyes, he laughed and said, "Oh! Just doing some minor repairs, dear!" LOL! OMG. I almost fainted as I tried to get across. Did I mention that I'm deathly afraid of heights?
Great photos :) Thanks for sharing with us. BC is such a beautiful place. People are so friendly there too!
Vancouver! My hometown, and where my company is located so I get to travel back and forth pretty often. (I work from a home base in Toronto.)
Next time you go, I can give you lots of tips and recommendations, especially for kids. I have four nieces plus a nephew, ages 4-9, so I know all about the kiddie stuff in Vancouver. Our favourite places are the Aquarium and Science World.
