We were in Vancouver to see cherry blossoms. We knew there should still be a few late blooming ones.
We actually overslept a little and woke up at 7:00. Mom and Dennis went for the breakfast buffet which came with their room, but not ours. Art and I had a Tim Horton muffin and hotel coffee which actually was just right.
Our first stop was Stanley Park where we saw so many cherry blossoms six years ago.
This year, they were all gone.
Dennis and mom were fascinated by the huge Canadian geese.
Next stop:
VanDusen Botanical Garden
The hyacinth were all blooming beautifully!
And there was this one cherry tree.
The daffodils and rhododendrons were lovely.
Mom loves camellias.
We decided to grab lunch at VanDusen.
Unfortunately, the food was so so. Mom said her quiche was not anywhere as good as the one she'd had at Nell Thorn.
Next stop: Queen Elizabeth Park
You could see the city of Vancouver from this high garden.
The Queen Elizabeth Park Conservatory had birds like that zebra finch and the flowers were so perfect, they looked almost plastic.
Next stop: Capilano Suspension Bridge Park.
I have to tell you that we think it's rather overpriced.
We'd gone there the last time, but Art thought that Dennis might enjoy seeing it.
I really think mom enjoyed walking on the suspension bridge even though she was gritting her teeth while going across.
There was no way mom was going to climb the steps up to the Treetops Adventure.
She waited down below while the rest of us walked around the treetop canopy.
After that adventure, we called it a day.
We headed toward Gastown for dinner.
We saw the famous Vancouver steam clock.
Six years ago we discovered a Japanese restaurant called Momo Sushi in Gastown. Mom loved it so much we'd gone back the next day.
We found it again!
And it was still good!
