After waking up and getting dressed we went downstairs to "Diva" the hotel restaurant, for breakfast. We had a lovely meal of pancakes, granola, french toast and more. We then set off for the day, on a Vancouver sightseeing "big bus" with an open top.
We heard lots of information about Vancouver and stopped off at Granville Island. We visited the kids market where the boys bought swords which consequently annoyed about a million passers-by throughout the day. We also went to the food market where we ambled around and bought cherries, maple butter and beans!
After walking around more shops we eventually decided to buy a very comfortable string hammock for our garden. We looked at the beautiful views of the city and then got back on the big bus.
The next stop was Gas town. This area of Vancouver was founded by Gassy Jack, there was a statue of him. Because of our rumbling stomachs, we decided to go to "the old spaghetti factory", one of the top 10 family restaurants in Vancouver. Guess what we had to eat? spaghetti!!
The restuarant was great and we had an incredibly friendly and sweet waiter named Hamza. The food was delicious and we left feeling stuffed. We looked around the really gorgeous shops including expensive shoe shops and modern furniture stores. We went into a clothes shop with hand made tops that Uma Therman and Dakota Fanning had worn.
It was then that we met the love of our life, the winter olympic mascot, QUATCHI!!! He was the most adorable teddy I had ever seen and we are in the process of persuading our parents to buy one for us.
After Gas town we journeyed home, for the kids and daddy to go in the beautiful skylighted pool and hot tub. We were so full from lunch we did not have supper, and tired out we went to bed!

Those teddies are rather cute,your parents should deffo get you guys one. x
Vancouver is great - why do we live in London?? Even now, planning to sell up and move on out here. It's quite different from America. Never met such civilised, friendly locals. The loonies are sadly nearly all gone already, though.
One of those cute teddies has now joined the ever expanding Shapiro family.
Hello. I see you've been to almost every popular place in Vancouver. :) I live there and work as a Vancouver real estate agent so I happen to get to these places very often but I'm never tired of it. Every part of the city has something to offer, from Science World on Main Street to Granville Island on the Waterfront, and that's what makes Toronto sightseeing so special and ever interesting. And what about people and surroundings? Did they catch your attention in a good way? :) Let me know when you'll have time,ok? Cheers,
Jay
