For any foodie, a trip to the Farmer's Market on Vancouver's Granville Island is a must. While I could wander for hours, my kids are ready to move on after the first snack. To keep everyone happy, my husband walks the kids across the street to the Kids ...

We are planning a quick weekend getaway to Vancouver, BC.
I've visited enough times with the kids that we have the major attractions covered (and believe me, I can't wait to take them back to the Vancouver Aquarium), but I'd love any tips for great indoor play ...

In this picture from our last family trip to Vancouver, E has a chance to "get inside" one of the huge fish tanks at the Vancouver Aquarium. The Vancouver Aquarium is the largest Aquarium in Canada and has enormous tanks and both indoor and outdoor exhibits. We spent a great ...

A few weeks ago, we began answering a reader question from Lumi in Germany who will be visiting the Pacific Northwest with her husband and kids in May. After a few more email exchanges, we've narrowed down her itiniary. Lumi has decided to head from Seattle up to Vancouver ...

We were all up at relatively the same time this morning. The best word to describe E’s mood is bubbly. He keeps repeating “you woke up in a hotel room” and seems absolutely delighted. Since our suite has a dining table, we thought it would be extra fun to ...

Today seems to be a “no nap” day for my son, so I took him and Darya out to check out the Vancouver Public Library. We often use public librarys as a stopping point when we’re travelling, because they’re quiet and give the kids a little break from ...

Little D woke up early today and could not be more excited. Not only did she get to sleep with mom all night, but we’re in a new place that needs to be explored. I didn’t want her to wake up husband & son (the last thing I need ...

We’re here. It’s so late (after midnight) that the only room left in the hotel had two twin beds & barely enough room for our suitcases, let alone a crib! My husband is on one with E & I will sleep in the other with little D. Not the safest ...

Dinner was excellent (if a little crazy as always) but our packing fiasco continues to wreak havoc on the plan. Midway through dinner I realized that we’d left the passports at home & so we’re back to pick them up (along with a couple of other forgotten items) Sigh ...

We’ve violated one of our cardinal rules of travelling with the kids, and it’s not going well. For some reason, maybe because this is a last minute trip, or maybe because we’re not going far from home, we waited until the last minute to pack. The kids ...

We’re headed up to Vancouver for the weekend. This is a sort of last minute trip for us, the nanny is off anyway & we thought it would be fun to get out of town as a family. It’s been way too long since we’ve had a family ...
