Day 6


You'll notice there are four little booklets in the above picture. Yes, Delaney's passport finally arrived TWO DAYS before we left.

You may be wondering, "Aimee, why would you spend so much money to get your kids passports if you were just going to the state of Washington?"

Well, geography students, if you examine your U.S. map closely, you'll see that just north of Washington is a place called Canada.



We took a day trip up into the city of Vancouver and went to the...


...where they had multiple species of Jeff's favorite animal...the jellyfish:


Next we went to Granville Island and ate pierogies which I've decided are the perfect comfort food. Yes, I could grow quite fat on those tender little dumplings.

We went to a rock store where I purchased this prehnite pendant.


The lady I bought it from looked very unusual and when she opened her mouth, things only got weirder.

Her: "This is a very important crystal. It's wonderful when people are attracted to it. It will really help strengthen your shakra and when you put it on you'll see that it will begin to glow."

Me: "Ummm...it's really...pretty."

Whatever...

Then we went for a walk in a park.

Is it just me or does it look like this guy is behind his dog with a frying pan and spatula, ready to cook up anything the canine drops?


Ewwww...

Then it was back to the U.S. of A. for some sailing on a catamaran.
