Hey all. Thanks for the ideas! We are back in Normal Vancouver... At least they dont try to run you off the freeways here. LOL, but I did LOVE driving on a big open stretch of freeway that had a higher limit than what we do.
Good times! I didnt like the Tower thingy.. uh, space needle cause I dont like things that high in the air to sway at all. Starfish was dancing around taking pictures while I was content to look for a bit then hide inside.
We did end up going to that Salty's restuarant LM.. Loved it so thanks for that suggestion. I did however hate the Kalamari there, and at some of the other restaurants we tried. The guy we were staying with, as well as some of his friends, all laughed at us for trying the Kalamari at some of the different places.
We went to a bar on the way to the Everett boat show the first day we were there, and I ordered a burger with bacon, ham, and cheese on it. There was an option for 'Large' so I decided to take it... I couldnt finish it. I think its the first time Ive ever not been able to finish a burger. The amount of thick bacon and ham on that burger was bigger than the burger patty which was already big.
Beer is dirt cheap. It did seem to be weaker, and there was no labelling whatsoever for the percentages.. but we found Kokanee that was imported at the local safeway so we bought that and inflicted it on the guy we were staying with.
We had a great time, everyone was super friendly once they knew we were from Vancouver. I got called 'neighbor' more times than I can count. I really liked the area and we will probably be heading back down again closer to the summer.
