Last week Adam had a training for work in Seattle, so I decided to go a few days before his training started so we could do a mini-vacation. Both of us have been wanting to go to Vancouver, so we flew into Seattle, got a rental car, and drove to Canada.
It was a short but really fun trip. We basically got there and started walking around to sight see. We started at Granville Island walking along the walk way on the water. It was SOOOO pretty. We stopped at a little shack right along the walk way that supports the local fishermen to eat lunch. It was a tiny place that looked pretty shabby, but the line was super long so we knew it had to be good! It ended up being worth the wait because it was a really good lunch. Then we walked to the huge public market that Kypton and Jillian on the Bachelorette went shopping at and a huge children's market that had lots of unique toys for kids. Then we sent to this huge long street with tons of stores and did some shopping. By then it was dark, so we got ready and went to a really nice restaurant called Blue Water Cafe and Raw Bar. The next morning, we did some more walking around, took a scenic drive through Stanley Park (which was really beautiful, loved seeing all the fall colors) and continued on our way back to Seattle.
We arrived in Seattle in time to do a little bit of sight seeing (we both had already been here). We checked into our hotel, which was really cool. It was like a modern/chic lodge. It actually was made famous because the Beatles stayed here back in the day when they were touring and were caught by photographers fishing out of their hotel room windows, since it's right on the water. Anyways, we basically then went to dinner and to bed. I had to leave early in the morning.
What a great getaway! Can't wait to go back to Vancouver!
