Vancouver, Canada
Vancouver weather was surprisingly not that rainy! We arrived at the airport to find my brother and my niece Forest (6) waiting for us. Decided to rent a car for the week and proceeded to visit Cypress Mountain, where the snowboard half pipe events were recently held for the Olympics. There was SNOW up in the mountains, which Mark absolutely loved. We also checked out Lynn Canyon, a suspension bridge in the midst of a forest. Our planned gondola car up to Grouse Mountain was cancelled due to high cloud (not much of a view).
The next day we drove down to Tswawassen to catch the ferry over to Vancouver Island. The scenery was just beautiful! We stopped in to one of my oldest friend's (Vida) to visit, and then off we drove towards Tofino.
