Dec 24, 2015 – Arrival into Vancouver
Ruth drove up to Seattle and picked Amy up from the airport. We then drove up to Vancouver. It was about 36 F and raining.
We did the following this day:
Capilano Suspension Bridge
We walked over that terrifying bridge. TWICE!
Walk around Gastown
We checked into the Moda Hotel, which is a cute little boutique hotel in a nice location. We went out for dinner and got poutine for takeout, and watched My Super Ex Girlfriend on the TV.
Dec 25, 2015 – Vancouver Area
Since it was Christmas day, not much was open. So we drove out to Squamish to check out the Sea to Sky Gondola, and then went to Granville Island and saw some nice views of downtown. It was still early so we had dinner and went to the movies to see Star Wars.
Sea to Sky Gondola
The drive to and from Squamish was absolutely stunning.

It was tempting to pick this up, but we hadn’t seen much of a vampire problem lately.

This is a cute little town. We visited a little spice and tea shop called For The Love of Spice.
