We just couldn't have Mom visit without taking her across the border into Canada. We drove to Vancouver on Friday and spent the afternoon checking out Gastown. Gastown is Vancouver's oldest neighborhood and is full of little shops and places to eat. When we crossed into Canada, the line to get back into the U.S. was extremely long and we were told it had been a four hour wait all day, unbelievable! So we drove on into Vancouver to spend a couple of hours before getting in the four hour line. Thankfully, the time had dropped to only about a one hour wait and we were back in the U.S. It was a great day and a great experience for Mom to visit another country (This was her first time out of the U.S.). Here are a few pictures of our day...
