Oh Canada......

So I have been up in Vancouver, BC, Canada for about 1 1/2 weeks now and have another week to go for work. Lucky for me this past weekend my mom was able to drive up from Portland, Oregon and bring my darling niece Elliott and our friend Margaret.

I have had some amazing runs here. I love to RUN again

 Our first morning - breakfast at a little cafe followed by running around the Sea Wall by the Olympic Torch watching Sea Planes take off.

 Then we took Ella (little girl I nanny) with us and we went to the Vancouver Aquarium for the afternoon. Gorgeous afternoon.

 These 2 are the best of pals. Had so much fun playing together.

 

Granville Island Public Market. Must See in Vancouver.
