Our second big trip in October was a plane ride to Canada. Through Mike's work connections, we took a 10 day jaunt to Vancouver, British Columbia. While a plane ride with a 2-year old isn't something I recommend doing often, we survived and made it north and west. After a snafu with our luggage (we made the connection in Chicago but our car seats and checked bag did not), we checked into our hotel and rested. Our second day was our only truly rainy day (very unusual for BC this time of year) and so the boys and I just did a little walking around and exploring while Mike met up with his work colleagues.
We all took a walk together down to Sunset Beach before Mike had to head to work. Above is a view of Burrard Bridge and False Creek while below is looking out through some public art into English Bay and the freighters.

Mike pushing the fellas in the stroller. There was many a steep climb on the streets of Vancouver. My calf muscles still remind me about all the walking we did.
