Got to use my passport this weekend - just so you know that I am still my Father's daughter! Of course, it was only to go across the Canadian border into Vancouver ... but it still counts as international travel! Erin and I both wanted a stamp in our passports for the trip but the agent at the border was too busy giving Mark the stink-eye and asking Stein contradictory, repetitive questions about guns in the vehicle. I never thought Stein looked shady or had that NRA-trigger-finger-appearance, but our particular agent was fairly convinced that this crazy American was attempting to bring fire arms across the border, eh.
We stayed on Granville Island and enjoyed beautiful, winter weather. Each day was crisp and clear, which allowed for beautiful views of the mountains surrounding the city. And everything we ate (and drank) on the island was sooooo delicious!
On Saturday night we ventured downtown to see Chelsea Handler at the Orpheum Theater. She was hysterical and just as horribly irreverant as we hoped!
We spent one day walking along the Seawall and got to check out the new Convention Center, Canada place and the 2010 Olympic Cauldron.
As a group, we loved the Farmers Market on Granville Island. We were there twice and have no pictures to show for it .... that is because we were too busy tasting our way through all of the stalls!
