"Awesome" Vancouver Trip

Reflecting back on trip to Vancouver, I thought I'd make a list of all the of the cities I visited, places we went to, things we did and the food we ate. Everything we planned for this trip was done in Google Docs, ain't that amazing ;) ha! Don't believe me? Here... 

Ok, now you can call us nerds :p It was truly an adventure to do so many things in a short span of time. We're awesome!

Cities we touched on:

• Vancouver, BC
• Victoria, BC
• Seattle, WA, USA

Walking across the Capalino Suspension Bridge.

Cool places we visited:

• Vandusen Botanical Garden 
• Capalino Suspension Bridge
• Grouse Mountain - took the skyride up 4,039 feet (1,231 m)
• Stanley Park
• The Prospect Point Lookout
• The Butchart Gardens
• Granville Island
• Make Vancouver - cool store in Granville worth checking out again! We won a pair of custom pins :)
• Space Needle
• Pike Place Market
• First Starbucks Store! (in Seattle)
• Seattle Outlets - spent way too much! Luckily we didn't get charged at customs :)
• The Crab Pot Restaurant and Bar
• Lynn Canyon 

On the Ferry from Vancouver to Victoria.

Awesome things we did:

• Ziplining in the snow
• Cooked crab for the first time, bought fresh at The Lobster Man - it was delicious!
• Cliff Walk at Capalino, walk down the Capalino Suspension Bridge
• Road trip to Seattle - rented an Accent but got a Mitsubishi Lancer instead, woot woot!
• Shopping at the Seattle Outlets - bought a ton of clothes!
• Took a ferry from Vancouver to Victoria - beautiful scenery, but super windy!
• Sake sampling at Artisan Sake Maker - discovered that I don't like Sake.
• The Observatory Restaurant - expensive but amazing view!
• Eating all the amazing food that was in Vancouver.
• Watched Hunger Games - great movie! But for more intensity, I recommend seeing Battle Royalle! 

At the Observatory in Grouse Mountain. The view of the city was just amazing.

Yummy Restaurants worth trying again:

• Japadog
• Toshi Sushi
• Go Fish - amazing fish and chips by the harbour in Granville!
• Lobby Restaurant @ Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier - not the best view but the food was amazingly good! 
• AYOeat - small Indonesian shack, delicious!
• Thomas Haas - good for desserts!
• Kristy's MBA House kitchen with me and Kristy as the chef ;)

If you are in Victoria, try this place out! The dude is hilarious but even more importantly, the food was amazing. Be prepare though, it's spicy!

Delicious foods that we indulged on: 

• Crab and Oysters @ MBA House!
• Green tea waffles @ Vandusen Botanical Garden
• Terimayo and Negimiso @ Japadog
• Indonesian food - Victoria @ AYOeat
• Halibut and Fries @ Go Fish
• Sushi @ Toshi Sushi

Things left undone!

• Bike in Vancouver.
• Drink the Jägerbomb we bought, ha!
• There's probably a ton of other things, can't think of them right now...

And of course... 

I gotta thank my awesome tour guide, none other than... baby :) for taking me around. I love you! It was Kristy's first time to many of these places, so it was a fun exploration for both of us. Until next time... hope to visit Vancouver again this year in hopefully June or July.
