We’re coming up on our trip to Vancouver and I, for one am starting to get excited.  I found a folder of photos from my LAST trip to Vancouver and I’ve picked a few that give me particularly happy memories.

Out of the blue, we ended up together this weekend and got to make a quick trip to the California Science Center in Los Angeles.

California Science Center - in front of the A-12

Kendra was there for a school assignment and we tagged along to watch the truly breathtaking IMAX Hubble 3D.  The A-12 spy plane we’re standing in front of is unique in that it was the only A-12 trainer ever made. More information about this particular plane can be found here.

We’re off to Vancouver next month.   I’ve been there before and Trisha hasn’t, except as a stopping point on the way to Victoria for a shoot.

I don’t know about Trisha, but I can add these to my must do list:

1. Eat at Fritz European Fry House (it’s number one  for a reason!)
2. Shop on Granville Island
3. Visit some good friends I have up in the area
4. Walk far too much downtown
5. Pay far too much for beer (c’mon Canada, you’re supposed to be the Australia of the north! What’s with the spendy beer?)
6. Visit the Crystal Mall (sentimental reasons)

Aside from these, we will just be enjoying being on our first genuine vacation!  I plan on leaving my laptop at home and aside from talking to the boys, I’m ignoring my phone.

Here we come, ya?

We had a lot of Fun at Hotel Maya and capped off the weekend with a trip to a cliff side park.  This is where we first started recording updates and here is our very first!
