Jennfier & Kelly at Crepe Cafe
The Mathletes at Crepe Cafe
The funny crosswalk guy in Vancouver, BC.My sister and her husband visited us for a quick Labor Day weekend. We love it when people come out to visit becuase it's a good excuse to finally do all those touristy things we rarely do. Of course we checked out the Olympic Sculpture Park-my new favorite thing about Seattle, ate a lot of food, and walked all over the place.
After dropping the Brother-in-Law off at the airport we drove up to Vancouver, BC. Kelly and I love Vancouver, and if a certain ultra-conservative candidate and his sidekick are elected in November we may be moving up there.
Anyway, I digress. Sure, you can argue that Canada is basically the U.S., but their signs are in French and English. Plus, you have to show a passport and go through customs to get there. We practiced our French by reading the signs and pretending to order our crepes in French. Well, when I say "we" practiced, I really mean that "I" practiced my French. Jennifer and Kelly didn't seem interested in playing my bi-lingual games.
We stopped and had lunch at our favorite crepe place on Robson Street. Kelly ordered the most amazing Nutella and coconut crepe, while Jennifer and I had the banana and Nutella version. Besides crepes, we did a lot of window shopping in Yaletown and Robson. Unfortunatley, the US dollar isn't what it used to be against the Canadian dollar, so it wasn't the usual bargain shopping extravaganza that we're used to in Vancouver.
Kelly and I had a great time with Jennifer and Brad. We love having family visit and showing them our beautiful corner of the world.

It's been a long time since we have been to Vancouver. I have not felt compelled to go on a shopping trip, since the $USD SUCKS everywhere! Our exchange into Euro in a few weeks ought to be exciting.
Where's my crepe? I guess I'll just have to wait for Paris.
Glad you guys had a fun time.
