Vancouver Part One

Anushka and I left on a Tuesday morning for Vancouver. The flight went quite well. Anna fell asleep on the tarmac before we took off, so I didn't have to worry about her ears. Westjet was awesome, they were accommodating in every way. I was able to take her car seat and stroller right up to the plane, which made navigating the airport alone possible. The only tricky part was lifting the stroller onto the x-ray machine while holding Anna. But my mom skills are finely tuned, so it worked out. The descent into Vancouver had a bit more crying, but I was able to breastfeed while we were landing, so it wasn't too traumatic. Michelle and Beatrice were there to pick us up and we made a quick stop at the Avalon Dairy to pick up organic milk (which I later enjoyed!).
The rest of the week was spent hanging out with Michelle and Beatrice (and Tom in the evenings). We got out for some nice walks (some in the rain, of course) and visits to the parks around their house. Our major outing was the Aquarium, where we got to see the new baby beluga (adorable to watch follow her mom around the tank). I also got a bit of shopping in at the HT Naturals outlet store. Michelle took me to a yummy parent oriented restaurant one day, too. Thanks for a wonderful visit. It was nice to relax and chat and enjoy the area!
