Ruth drove up to Seattle and picked Amy up from the airport. \u00a0We then drove up to Vancouver. \u00a0It was about 36 F and raining.<\/p>\n

We did the following this day:<\/p>\n

We checked into the Moda Hotel<\/a>, which is a cute little boutique hotel in a nice location. \u00a0We went out for dinner and got poutine for takeout, and watched My Super Ex Girlfriend on the TV.<\/p>\n

Dec\u00a025, 2015 \u2013 Vancouver Area<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Since it was Christmas day, not much was open. \u00a0So 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. \u00a0It was still early so we had dinner and went to the movies to see Star Wars.<\/p>\n

Sea to Sky Gondola<\/h3>\n

The drive to and from Squamish was absolutely stunning.<\/p>\n
