Family Fun in the City
March 25, 2013
Well, we’re back from a weekend of family fun in Vancouver! We were lucky enough to call Kitsilano home for a few days and we loved every minute of it! Our good friends Mike & Julia divide their time between the West Coast and Calgary and are always generous about letting us use their lovely apartment, such a treat! Here are just a few of the many pics that I took and you can see a few more over on Instagram…
Between walking to the beach, spending Saturday at the aquarium, eating out, playing at local parks, exploring the Museum of Anthropology and soaking up plenty of cold Spring sunshine, the kids, Brad and I are all pretty wiped but it was well worth it! It’s always nice to get away for a few days but it was especially great to take time and enjoy a beautiful city that is so close to home. We spent the majority of our time outside and all feel pretty darn lucky to live in such a picturesque corner of the world. It’s easy to take the mountains that surround us for granted but standing on the beach and looking at the cityscape each day was pretty remarkable! Do you ever take mini-vacations close to home? Highly recommended 🙂
