Vancouver : Granville Island

Phil and I walked to the ferry yesterday and headed over to Granville Island - an awesome little island filled with local artist studios and shops, restaurants, and a farmer's market.  We spent the entire afternoon chatting with local artists and sight seeing.  It was a really cool place, hard to capture in photos!

This last picture is the view of downtown from the island- not a lot of water separating Granville Island from downtown Vancouver.

Vancouver : UBC Botanical Garden and Museum of Anthropology

Phil and I explored the University of British Columbia's Botanical Garden and Museum of Anthropology today.  The Botanical Garden was so beautiful and included an edible garden where everything grown there was donated to local food shelters.  We did a canopy walk along bridges that went from treetop to treetop and gave us a fabulous view of the garden below!

The Museum of Anthropology was very interesting and included a lot of native art.  The Pacific Northwest has a very interesting history, and the city of Vancouver today is a very diverse place.  We really enjoyed our outing today and all the walking we did added up to a little over eight miles!

Vancouver : Stanley Park

Phil and I took a walk this morning along the sea wall in Vancouver to Stanley Park, it was almost eight miles total and so beautiful!

The Festival of Legends!

We always have a super fun time at the Festival of Legends!

Sunshine!

Zach and I have had a fun and busy afternoon running errands and playing at the park!

Happy Birthday Uncle Jeffrey!
