More family came to visit us.


On Saturday Ruth's sister Elsie (and hubby) Michael (Bob) McDermott of Edmonton flew in to spend a week with us. They are enjoying the warm weather we are finally having here in BC.

Today we went to Granville Island. We first had lunch at the Granville Island Public Market and then spent the day checking out the shops, watching the boats and the birds, eating Ice Cream at the GI Gelato & Coffee House, and of course checking out the people. The weather could not have been better in any way!

Parking is nearly impossible as we spent the first 15 minutes just looking for a place to park. Not even the Paid Parking had room!! A good place to avoid in the summer!

Here are a few pics at Granville Island...minus the photographer of course! :(

Please stay tuned for more of our adventures this week.

Sometimes you can get lucky and find a parking spot quickly but I've been there a few times and had to drive around for a while.

One of the best parts of going to Granville Island is watching seagulls dive bomb people as they take their food outside. I've seen sandwiches nabbed, and plates of food knocked out of a person's hand to be gobbled up by the surrounding birds...
