On our first day, we walked 9.5 km from downtown Vancouver all the way to Stanley Park. The next day, we headed to North Vancouver and spent time exploring Lynn Canyon Park. Felix loved the loop trail and since we arrived super early, we had the suspension bridge all to ourselves. When we went back later, it was packed – note take photos before the crowds arrive!

The drive up the Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler was absolutely stunning! We spent some time soaking in the mountain scenery and relaxing at the resort before heading back to Vancouver stopping at Grouse Mountain. Seeing the two orphaned grizzly bears there was a highlight. Felix absolutely loved the Gondola – he would of ridden up and down the mountain all day!

We’re really looking forward to the week ahead – especially with Matt getting ready to run the Vancouver Marathon tomorrow!
