Delayed Photos from Vancouver

I am desperate to catch up and be current. Knowing I am behind is not making me want to blog or take photos and yet we are doing so many fun things I really should. So, to recap: we spent two days in Vancouver after the cruise. We celebrated my mom's actual birthday in Vancouver going to a cute Fondue restaurant called Burgoo. Joe stayed at the hotel with the boys so it was just my parents, Barclay and me. It wasn't anything fancy but it hit the spot. http://www.burgoo.ca/

We started our tour of Vancouver visiting Gas Town and then the Chinese gardens. The boys fell in love with the baby turtle and fed the other turtles Fruit Loops (despite the please don't fee the fish signs). We went to China town and had dim sum at the Floata Seafood Restaurant http://www.floata.com/index_main.htm . Joe and I haven't had dim sum in years so we were in heaven. Barclay is now a vegetarian so I think she was challenged to find dishes she could enjoy. We were accosted by some homeless people on the walk back to our hotel which definitely left an impression on Mason "remember that man who followed us" he mentioned for the next few days.

We left Vancouver and drove to Leavenworth, WA which is a cute Bavarian town which I have been wanting to visit ever since we moved up here. It was very cute and quaint. http://www.leavenworth.org/modules/pages/?pageid=4&path=24 We stopped for two hours and shopped (Joe took the boys to a park). Very fun and then we drove another 45 minutes to our hotel in Ellensburg, WA. We enjoyed swimming in the pool before breakfast the following morning and then drove 3 + hours home. Misty was very glad to see us return!
