Vancouver: Day 1

I had a great girls weekend with my mom and all my sisters and sister-in-law. We traveled from Virginia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, and Utah and met up in Vancouver, B.C.–not exactly a central location, but my sister Stephanie was there for a conference so we joined her at the end. (It should definitely be noted that Stephanie is now CANCER FREE!!!! Wahoo! She has been through more and suffered more in the past few years than I could ever imagine, but I'm so glad she's on the road to recovery...and on the road to my house for Thanksgiving!)

I had a very early morning flight on Thursday, but I was rewarded with some lovely views of the sunrise. I also enjoyed traveling with one small handbag and a small messenger bag. I have never traveled so lightly. It was wonderful.



We all flew into Seattle and actually timed it so we arrived within minutes of each other. We rented a car and drove up to Vancouver. It was rainy but the drive was still pretty and so fun to chat with everyone.

After arriving in Vancouver, we headed out to find a place for dinner and ended up at this really nice seafood place. The food was so delicious, including the parmesan frites! We stayed up way too late that night talking and laughing.




And dessert of course.
