A Weekend with Family

We just spent the last three days with John's brother, Ethan, and his great family - Anika, Anamarie & Amelia. An afternoon was spent in Langley and then we headed to Vancouver!



One of our first stops was at Capilano Suspension Bridge. You've heard of Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge many times, but this bridge is double the length - 140 meters! Once you cross the canyon, you find yourself with many trails you can follow. Our favorite was the Treetop Adventures, where you get to walk on more bridges up in the trees.



Our hotel was the Fairmont Hotel. Quite a luxury for us - yay for travel agent rates! We had a great view from our room:



Look at what was waiting for us!



You know you're in Vancouver when your hotel bathroom has a permanent umbrella stand in it.



Believe it or not, the Fairmont Vancouver has two resident dogs!



It's November, so we experienced cold and wet weather. Check out how Anamarie survived the rain.



There were respites from the rain, however, like when we were at Lonsdale Quay Market.



We ate awesome food all weekend, ranging from fresh fish to delicious Chinese to scrumptious pasta. Of course we stopped at La Casa Gelato for some dessert! Despite all the choices, Amelia & Anamarie easily made up their minds - Cotton Candy & Bubble Gum.



Thank you so much for coming to visit us, EAA&A!
