Well this second part was much better. However,the flight from chicago to seattle was super bloody long! ohhhh did my legs hurt. I think it was about 4 hours. Oh well, i lived. It's already our last day in Vancouver but ill go over what we did the past couple days.
Well, after the flight to seattle we rented a car and headed off to Vancouver. We got in at about 2:30pm western time. It was pouring rain outside but i didn't notice much seeing as i was fast asleep in the backseat. Remember, at this point i only had an hour and a half of sleep =P terrible. Anyways, after awhile we started getting hungry so we stopped at an IHOP(omg i love IHOP even when im half asleep). The waitress lady was really cool cause i ordered chocolate milk, except it wasnt very chocolaty,and she saw it and was like oh man ill be back, and she made it SUPER chocolatey. However, it was just too much for me, so i only had a couple sips . Mmmmm and i had the belgium waffle with whipped cream and strawberries and strawberry sauce ohhhh man yum yum. They have the best waffles ever, it's all i get when i go there.
After IHOP, we continued driving and made our way to Vancouver. Again i was fast asleep through the drive. We got to our hotel and passed out. The next thing i knew, it was the morning and i had gotten 12 hours of sleep, yet it was only 9am. The jet lag sure got to me cause i was tired all day and i was beginning to catch a cold. I've suffered the last two days with a sore throat, but i've had medicine so it's really not that bad. So after we woke up, we had our freeeeee breakfast(everything is so much better when its free) and we headed over to the UBC campus. We just drove around it for a bit to see what it looked like and such, we didnt wanna look too much cause we were going on a tour the next day.
After driving around the campus, we headed off to the Capilano Suspension Bridge. It was sooo cool. And yes, i did jump on it. And yes, i lived. Across the bridge as well, there were more suspended bridges in the trees. Oh how i love to jump on suspension bridges. Anyways, it was crazy cool and we walked around there for awhile. After going to the cool bridge place we headed towards Grouse Mountain. This was a place to snowboard, however, there was barelyany snow. But i got to go on my first gondula(s/p?) ride. It was fun, and the people who worked there made me laugh cause they were obsessing over the word "Majestic". Oh how i love British Columbia. Up at the top of the mountain it began to rain so we decided to head into the lodge andhave a bite to eat. And let me tell you, they have GOOD hot dogs.
So anyways, after the bridge and the mountain we went and drove around in Stanley Park. I mean its pretty in the winter, but imagine it in the summer. No rain! So after touring the park we came back to the hotel and checked to see if we could get tickets to the Canucks vs. Flames hockey game. They had tickets, but they were a wee bit expensive. $120 each to be exact. It sucked that we couldnt go, cause im canadian yet ive never been to a hockey game before.
When supper time came around, we went to this fancy pantsy seafood restaurant. All the stuff on the menu did not appeal to me, but they had bbq back ribs and those sounded just perfect. My parents of course had to have fish, which they did, but they'll eat anything. After our fancy pantsy supper, we came back to the hotel and watched Trading Spouses(my choice) haha what a damn good show. It had this crazy lady who was reading french childrens books to these kids who were like 17 years old. Crazy moms make me laugh. However, im glad my mom isnt TOOOOO crazy. And she can cook, thats a bonus.
So it turns out Vancouver is awesome so far and i love it. Well im too lazy to write out what happened today so ill leave that for tomorrow. My moms feeling great and ive got a little cold, but life is good. We're even talking about going to Calgary to check out that University next. Hopefully its good but then again that would put me in the tough position of choosing between UBC and U of Calgary.-sigh- oh well. So thats my trip so far. Stay tuned for part three, it shall be posted eventually.
And im spent...
