In Vancouver it was raining all day and it looked like it had been for a week straight. Nonetheless, we still spent the day in Stanley Park on a horse drawn carriage and then traveled to the Capilano Suspension Bridge. The tour guide driving our carriage explained Vancouver's history during our one hour ride. The Suspension Bridge is suspended 450 feet across big evergreen trees and 230 feet above the creek. It was a thrill to walk across the suspension bridge as it swayed; my little sister did not even make it all the way across as she was too afraid. We missed Grouse Mountain because of the rain, but it going to be an amazing 2 hours hike up the mountain (mother natures stair master) or as the locals call it, the grouse grind mountain run. We saw many houses made out of wood and many harbors.
Next we watched the Vancouver Canucks beat the Canadiens 8-2. The Canadiens were crushed again in the last three games against all Canadian teams. After we packed up for the seven and a half hour plane ride back home. My family had a great family road trip and I hope our next one will be a better one.
