A HOP SKIP AND A JUMP

West Jet

one of our Canadian airlines

had a seat sale

SOOOOOOOOO

I jumped at the chance

and

caught a flight

to

Vancouver

Daughter Jennifer met me at the airport

First stop

HARVEY'S

Lucky for us it was right at the airport

This was Jen's favourite

I had a veggie burger

It was actually really tasty

Even stole a few fries!

Next stop

Tim Horton's

OK

I'm ready to hit the road

since I had my

Canadian fix!!!!!

As we were walking through the airport

we were 'graced' with Native art

This is the view from her bedroom window

(Whistler)

I love walking into her home

So many interesting things to look at

I can see my Mom's tea cups

on the shelf

and

also her dessert dishes

Here we have Alice and Angus' coats

winter coats

rain coats

and

 towels to wipe their feet

On top of her wardrobe

she has three boxes

One says

Stuff

More Stuff

Can't remember the third

something about stuff......

HA-HA

A painting of her Pug Alice

nicknamed

Chickadee

Ah

My dresser from when I was a child

Down to Green Lake we go

Angus coming along the little path

He is fifteen

The ol' back legs just don't work

like they used to

Another section of Green Lake

We're on our way back to Vancouver

Driving the Sea to Sky highway

This is Squamish

Do you see the White Witch?

There she is.......on the rock

Gas pit stop

Did you notice the laced boots?

Cool eh

Jen saw boots like this as she was walking

in Whistler Village

She first noticed the boots as a lady walked toward her

looked up

and

there was

Sarah McLaughlin

Here is one of the BC ferries heading to one

of the islands 

As we were driving through  

Stanley Park I noticed steam
The sun was warming the earth

Lots of people out jogging

Here we have some stretching going on

You couldn't help but smile when you looked

at the sculptures

They were laughing!!

What a crazy hat!!!!

Kitslano Beach

Pug Day

Tankers waiting their turn

A couple of kayakers going by.....

Pug Day takes place the last Sunday of the month

at

Kitslano Beach

the only

'off leash' park

in Vancouver

The water dogs had a blast

I bet they are ol' friends

Ask me if we were having fun???

WE WERE HAVING FUN!!!!

Do you see the fellow doing a wheelie on his bike?

The pugs getting the sand off their feet

Wonderful spring flowers sitting out

at a local corner store

We stood in line at Sophie's Cafe

waiting to have breakfast

The fellow in front of me had on this jacket

Yes, I was in Canada

The walls of the cafe were filled with

many things of days gone by

I noticed a few 'tin' lunch boxes

which brought back memories

We are now traveling on the Burrard St. Bridge

Heading to Yale Town

I got out of the car and saw big drops of water coming from overhead

Doing a good job there buddy

On to the Dog and Hydrant store

The sweater shelf

Choose a collar!!!!!!!

In room dining

A great big salad

and

chicken wings!

(Yikes but I was on holiday)

This is the view from our hotel room

We stayed the night at the Fairmont

Looks like it is going to be a beautiful day

I arrived in Vancouver at 4:30 Friday

Departed at 9:53 on Monday

What a weekend

It was filled with chatting and laughter

My blog tomorrow will be all about the dog park!!!!

Stay tuned
