However, we made the ferry with no waits, and pulled into North Vancouver in time to deliver Aethan's belated birthday present before bedtime, crack a few brews with Emily and Adam and catch up a bit. Y'all didn't think I would go on vacay without checking in with my soul sista now, did ya?
We were supposed to meet up with a friend in town from Calgary the next day....only we couldn't seem to get a hold of him....turns out, he had a really good time in Vancouver the day and night before and didn't even get out of bed until about 2:30pm. But really, that was alright because it meant Michael and I had more time to spend with Em, Adam and Aethan. Always a bonus for me. I had a full morning of the most delicious little boy hugs....sweeter than French Toast and maple syrup...and less fattening....
and then we headed off to Lonsdale Quay Market for some discoveries, some shopping and some lunch.
I don't know why, but this reminded me of this. She was talking to this old gull...and he seemed to be listening. I was in love with the moment. I am still in love with this moment. Aren't you?
Vancouver proper from North Vancouver.....

Cormorants.....
So that was our sweet but short time time in Vancouver....er, North Vancouver. Just after these photos, we were on the road again...heading for another ferry....heading for the Sunshine Coast....and new vistas....
new views....new dreams...new scents, sights, sweetness, serenity....stay tuned....

Over the years we have perfected our packing skills. We leave it to the last minute now and take as little as possible. If we forgot something (which is rare) we either buy it or just say "tough" and do without it.
Nice! I love the photo with the sea gull as well!
Looks like you had a fun get-away — and that seagull picture is wonderful! Wouldn't that make a great painting? Looking forward to seeing/hearing about the Sunshine Coast.
