Vancouver - We finally made it to Canada!

Hey Ariel Viewers!

It's been a while, but we haven't traveled since our wedding last year. It was great to travel again and make it to the country that's closest to us, Canada!


Here are all the places we went through, the good, the bad, and the gorgeous:

  1. Dublin Calling Pub to watch the rugby game ๐Ÿ‰ - ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿฝ so terrible. The server told us the kitchen was too backed up and we couldn't order food. None of our drink orders were correct, and the service was so bad, that we went out to the shop, got our own drinks, and came back and watched the game. No one even noticed.
  2. Johnnie Foxes - ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿฝ the food was awful. Dry, greasy, no Guinness at an Irish place. 
  3. The Basic Diner - ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿฝ exactly what the name says, Basic. The food is incredibly overpriced and a simple sandwich tasted less than mediocre.
  4. Nando’s Peri Peri ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ - Nando's was so stinkin' tasty and at a good price. The place is clean and the staff was also very friendly and helpful.
  5. Pawn Shop YRV ๐ŸŒฎ Bar ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ - this place was great; they had tasty food, but for Mexican food, it was incredibly expensive.
  6. Artigiano ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ - we stopped into this nice and spacious cafe for a quick snack and got a warmed-up tomato and cheese scone. It was so beyond tasty!
  7. Aquarium in Stanley Park ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ
  8. Steamworks Brewpub ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ- awesome location, beer, and food
  9. Van Buren Brewery ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ - awesome location, beer, and food
  10. Bonta Italian Ristorante ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ - excellent food
  11. Granville ๐Ÿ️ - public market (lavender/hammock shop)- the market grill spicy ๐Ÿ” ๐Ÿฅช ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ This was my favorite spot on the whole island.
  12. Glitch Arcade Bar ๐ŸŽฎ ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ - this place was awesome and had trivia.
  13. Grouse ๐Ÿ”️ gondola ๐Ÿš  & ⛷️ lift. Grizzly ๐Ÿป. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ
  14. ๐Ÿš•, ⛴️ & ๐ŸšŒ to Victoria - ๐Ÿณ watching - Prince of Whales๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ
  15. 10 Acres Bistro ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ - Fantastic food.
  16. Tim Hortons ☕️ ๐Ÿฉ ๐Ÿฅช ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ - Can't get enough of this place. Food, drinks, snacks, it's like Dunkin Donuts on steroids.
  17. Joffre Lake hike๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ - a bit of a drive but an absolutely gorgeous hike and view.
  18. Starbucks is great in CA ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ I know it's lame, but the Starbucks chai lattes were on point.
  19. The Cactus๐ŸŒต Club Cafe ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ their food was incredible
  20. ๐Ÿ›ต at Yes Cycle ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ Ride through Stanley Park and zip around the sites. it was a lot of fun and the scooters have phone holders.
  21. Poutine @ Fritz ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ The poutine was super tasty!


Memorable Things from Trip

  • Speeding ๐ŸŽŸ️ for Martin driving too slow
  • Poutine and scootin - scootering and poutine to follow
  • JetBlue ๐ŸŽง not free. No meal. No carry-on. Have wrong carousel โ„น️ Jet blue was hella expensive for such cheap service.
