Welcome Spring!

Happy Easter! It certainly seems like is going to be a gorgeous weekend, perfect for Easter egg hunt, family gathering, special meals, and fun activities. My husband and I went to visit Stanley Park today. I do enjoy photography so as soon as cherry trees and tulips blossom I am ready to go outdoors.

Stanley Park is the place to be for families with young children. There are many fun activities anyone can enjoy:

  • Vancouver Aquarium that is now featuring a special exhibit on Sharks & Rays: March 15th to April 1st open from 9:30am to 6pm
  • Miniature Train ride: March 23rd to April 1st open from 10am to 5pm
  • Easter Egg Hunt, crafts and visit from the Easter Bunny by the train station
  • Playgrounds and water parks
  • Stanley Park Horse-Drawn Tours: March 7th to October 31st from 9:40am to 5pm
  • Pitch and Putt Green open October 9th to March 31st open from 9am to 4pm 
  • Picnics and walks along the seawall

My favourite activity is to take pictures of flowers. Although still to early for the rose garden to blossom, there were some interesting flowers to look at. Here's a sample:
