Flew into Seattle- stayed for a night and drove to Vancouver.
Wonderful trip! Very freeing for my mind and spirit.
Places we ate:
Zeeks Pizza- Seattle
Rolls Kitchen- Sushi Vancouver
Fat Burger- Yaletown
Serious Pie- Seattle
Ribs- Korean BBQ
El Furniture Warehouse- Whistler Village (The donuts OMG)
Grassroots Pizza- Whistler Village
Nature is awesome- it constantly reminds me of God's greatness. The level of imagination, how everything works together, the beauty, the colors, the complexity and simplicity- seeing mountains up close and REAL SNOW! I am Texas born and bred so snow is a figment of our imagination we get slushed ice lol.
Granville Island- wonderful shopping!! Cascadia soaps(purchased) made with goats milk and oils I bought like 5 bars! I love soap- weird...The fresh fudge, unwaxed apples! I was in market heaven.
Capilano Suspension Bridge: AHHHHH I crossed it... I was totally scared going across but I looked down and the view was breathtaking. I wanted to be Pocahontas- have you ever seen a blue corn moon? Me either but I was feeling free. Hearing the rushing water, seeing the cedars, natural waterfalls within rock... Taking it all in.
The dessert scene was TRASH.... probably did not need it anyway. Visited this Transylvanian bakery and was thoroughly disappointed. I ordered a slice of raspberry cheesecake... yeah it was the nursing home version of cheesecake... no bake, gelatin like... and the crust was not even Graham Cracker crust... Loss of 4 bucks... Lesson learned.
I drank more coffee than I do in one year combined. Found some great brews that I liked though.
1. London Fog
2. Cafe Medici
3. Carmadon
Visited the upscale Starbucks reserve as well as the original Starbucks in Pike Place.
Surprisingly Vancouver was very "Yellow" almost everyone was of Asian decent. Enjoyed the fresh air, not many smokers and the mountain air was so refreshing. I also took time to visit the Aboriginal Cultural Center and Museum- very educational in regards to Native Americans in BC- their plight and relationship with the Land. The Inuit, Saquamish and LilWat peoples sharing the land. I enjoyed myself thoroughly.
Drove up to Whistler! Home of the 2010 Olympics! Again the scenery was breath taking. I felt like I was in a nature video in the Tundra. All the trees, covered in snow, moving peak to peak in the Gondola. I am so thankful for being able to experience God's green earth! I was in my element. Free
Take a look a some of the pics. Hope you enjoy.
