One of our goals before moving to ND was to visit the Vancouver, B.C. temple, so Josh got a Living Social deal for the Metropolitan Hotel downtown. We neglected to get pictures, but I highly recommend it. We're definitely going back some day. I always love a place that serves a good eggs benny.
We didn't really know what else to do, aside from the temple, so we went to the Capilano Suspension Bridge, VBC's top attraction.
I went there in 2004, but all I remember is this:
Either the son was named after the dog or the dog after the kid. It shows an alarming lack of originality, but is all-day awesome.
We went across the bridge:
And found the Treetop Adventure:
Which is kind of like the Ewok Village, so Josh geeked out because he was wearing this shirt:
I was less impressed, so I entertained myself by reading:
Waiting until kids were on the bridges, then making them extra shaky:
And photobombing Josh's pictures:
It was very pretty:
And, really, I only got cranky toward the end:
They also have this cool walkway along the side of the cliff (called the "Cliff Walk," duh), which had beautiful views:
And looked like this:
The suspension bridge from the side
Multiple signs warning against graffiti
A very large Canadian Mounty Bear
An old-timey band singing "Big Rock Candy Mountain"
An eagle totem
And a totem that looked like our cat Mercury, folding into her fat (which I am emulating)
We highly recommend it, especially since there is a free shuttle from some of the hotels in the area. It's great for kids, I guess, but it was also fun for us childless adults too.
