This past weekend Lionel and I headed to Vancouver to celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary. I had wanted to go since last year, but it just hadn't worked out. Lionel's parents kindly agreed to stay with the girls so we could have our weekend get away, and although staying with the girls for four straight days was challenging for them, they managed to survive. Besides being thankful, we were also proud of them.
Vancouver is a beautiful city, so we very much enjoyed our time there. We even joked that we need to move there because it is a perfect match for both of us: Beach during the summer and skiing during the weekend, both of them pretty much in your backyard.
We stayed at the Fairmont Pacific Rim which was a splurge, but since we were celebrating I really wanted to travel in style. We biked around the sea wall, went through Stanley park, visited Grouse Mountain, the Capilano suspension bridge, China Town, Granville Island, and of course downtown. We went to very good restaurants and enjoyed our meals a whole lot. We also met up with a former college classmate of mine who happens to be living there now, and who gave me all the recommendations in terms of places to go. It is not like we were super close back in the day, but it was still nice to see her after all this time - 14 years to be exact.
