Well, better late than never.. We are finally in Vancouver and today we rented bikes and cycled around Stanley park and went to the aquarium! It was fantastic. My pea brain remembered this thread from when we thought we'd make it here 2 years ago.
Our daughter is being trained to handle birds at the SF zoo right now and she loved the raptor exhibition from this conservation group on Vancouver island. They had some lovely hawks and a bald eagle who was really impressive.
And the belugas were wonderful..

Did you see the heron rookery? It's on the English Bay side of the park.
I love Vancouver. In case you can't tell. And on a clear day, the scenery is just spectacular.

We didn't see it. We definitely will be back. This is a great city and we did not have enough time. Next time Vancouver island, etc. For now, we head north.
