For Memorial Day, we decided to take our first trip to our neighbors to the North, Canada. It’s a relatively easy trip up I-5 to Vancouver, where we spent a few days exploring the city. Vancouver is beautiful, surrounded by water and mountains on every side. Just outside the city, there are amazing parks like the Capilano Suspension Bridge park, where you can cross a slightly scary suspension bridge over a deep canyon and walk on catwalks built high in the treetops. We worked in a few runs, too, crossing over the Lions Gate Bridge on our first run and then going around Stanley Park the next day. Good thing we got in some exercise, since we also developed a taste for maple candy while we there.
