A Little Adventure

Walking to Granville Island
This is a picture of the downtown area of Vancouver. 

This post is something a little different, it is not about beauty like my usual posts. I thought I would switch it up today. I recently went to Vancouver for a few days with my family and some friends. It was a lot of fun and I thought I would share a few photos.

Driving on the highway to Vancouver


I live close enough to Vancouver that we can drive there in a few hours. The drive is always so beautiful, there is always lots of gorgeous scenery to look at.

























The photo on the left is some street art we found along the way walking to Granville Island it was too colourful and pretty not to take a picture. The photo on the right was of a sign in a water a Water Park (no water just park). Rule number 3 is my favourite; no nudies please and thank you!


These are on Granville Island, which is not really an Island (it's a permanent sand bar). These are used to store grain or something. But the paintings are so cool, and if you are on the other side of the water you can see the faces of the other guys and the butts of these guys. I don't know who painted them, or why. I assume to make these storage bins much more hip and cool. 


These beautiful creatures are Blue Macaws, like from Rio (the movie). These birds were at the Vancouver Aquarium. I know they are not fish, but the Aquarium had this really cool Tropical Jungle area of the Aquarium. The Macaws were pretty funny because they were getting made at each other or us, but wow they were loud. They are a lot bigger than you would think. Can I also mention there were two sloths in this area!!! My favourite animals are sloths and goats. Don't get me started about goats... <3


This was taken on our last day in Vancouver and it started to rain. And as usual I went against my instincts and left my jacket in the hotel room. The rain did not stop me from taking a picture of these beautiful trees. This photo was taken at the very beginning of West Vancouver right by the water. I had never been around this area of Vancouver before, so it was cool to see a different area. 




Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed something a little different. 
Talk to you soon!
