July 2008 Vacations


During most of July, Eric was finished with work in WA and the kids were out of school, so we took the opportunity to visit some of the places that we had meant to visit while living in WA and hadn't before moving away. We went to the Great Wolf Lodge, Leavenworth, Lake Chelan, Lynden, and Vancouver B.C. We went everywhere but the Wolf Lodge with my sister, Brenda and her two kids, Colton and Kadie. We had a lot of fun!

Although we had a great time at each one, I think our favorite was Vancouver. We spent most of our time at Stanley Park visiting the aquarium, the pool, and the sites there. We also made it over to Granville Island which is where we bought the parasols for the girls and had lunch at the best fish and chips place. We also took the Seacab to the Science World where we enjoyed an IMAX movie on the Alps and lots of "experimentation". The kids were fascinated with Science World and would have loved to have stayed even longer. They had to almost kick us out at closing.

Brenda and I found a station where you could lead music and the music playing would follow your beat and tempo. That was fun for us.

We enjoyed a different type of food every night. The kids tried some new things, and actually enjoyed most of them. They were excited about the Canadian money too. We walked everywhere while we were there, so they were ready to crash by the end of each day.
