No doubt, attendance at Aquarium will increase abit with the new family member.
I've never been to the Aquarium yet..and it's not far from home.

Grog, how wonderful! They are such lovely-looking animals. I will look forward to hearing more after your next night watch.

Wow!! How wonderful! We are hoping to get to Vancouver this summer on a trip with our daughter - the aquarium may become a must see destination for us.

Beautiful changing views along the way, including seaplanes that fly off by Coal Harbour where the Canada Place is located which outside of the park, but still along the Seawall multipurpose path.
Early morning along the path is best..if you can swing it. If you need a bike route guide, there are Vancouverites around.Last edited by shootingstar; 06-07-2009 at 06:31 PM.

shootingstar that sounds great but we won't have bikes and will have very limited packing space, so we may not even have closed toe shoes (aside from motorcycle boots) in the event we could rent bikes. I will definitely try to figure out how to get out there, though, even for a walk on some of it. We will definitely have to find the gelato and coffee places....
any other suggestions welcome!

Hey MP when are you coming? I'll send you a list of gelato spots.
My husband is a gelato-maniac. Oh, and check these guys out: http://cleanhotdry.com/ There is quite a coffee culture in town now.
DO go to the aquarium. I've been to many aquariums and it's the one I feel best in. I love the way it uses entertainment to sneak up education about marine life on people. Great stuff for kids (hands-on with a sea cucumber anyone?). It's truly involved with conservation. And it's run by a combination of staff (350) and volunteers (over 600).
I'll keep you updated.
