Oh, what great photos! The strawberries pic almost made me pass out. I LOVE that report, and I also really enjoyed catching up on your previous couple of blogs. You've really been going through a LOT this year, chica. You're holding up beautifully, and Glenn looks fantastic.

So is Stanley Park, that's coming, hopefully later today, not sure, for some reason you leave for a few days, everything piles up.

Great pics. It's so beautiful out there. Was it the Tall Ships festival when you were there?

It is quite pricey if your on a budget, fortunately we had a place to stay. Of course, you don't have to spend a ton but if you've got kids, it adds up & the taxes on flights is insane, more than the ticket in most cases.

Granville Island, Stanley Part & Whiterock can all be very inexpensive, really just parking at all of them & you can take your own food etc to any of them. The food stalls aren't too bad if you're price watching, Bridges Restaurant on Granville Island is insane (check back to the report)

No, it wasn't the Tall Ships Festival that I know of, would have been cool to see. I would love to have seen the fireworks competition though, we thought about going to July 1 ones but would have been too insane.
