Summer fun in Vancouver

Vancouver is without a doubt a beautiful city! I love how green it is and in tune with nature. I'd be lying if I didn't be completely truthful and confess how much I was in love with Vancouver. The houses were of different color and styles reminding me of back home. Toronto the houses were generally the same style and color and the city felt like a concrete jungle to me. 
We didn't waste anytime in advantaging the warm, sunny day and headed to Stanley Park. At the park it was buzzing with families, joggers, cyclists and tourists snapping tons of photos. I reveled at the site of all the colors of flowers, the different plants and trees.

This was my first time visiting the park at summer time and it was so beautiful. There were butterflies around, squirrels running in the trees and raccoons digging through the trash. 

The view of the mountains was like nothing I had ever seen before and it took my breath away. Vancouver really made me have a deeper appreciation and develop a great love for nature. 

We drove around after to downtown Vancouver and I was like a kid in a candy store. My eyes were wide with excitement as my head spun in all directions looking at all the huge, tall buildings, the multitude of ethnicity of people all over the city and the First Nation people. The beach was packed with people all having a good time soaking up the sun. 

It was a great start to the two weeks we were about to spend together. It was a blessing to spend this time with my family and share laughs together to create memories that would last a life time.
