We just walked around but you can also ride bikes, jog, hike. My blog <a href="http://www.nauticalbynatureblog.com/2014/04/pacific-northwest-trip-vancouver_28.html" rel="nofollow">post on Stanley Park</a><br /><br />If you are not afraid of heights I second Capilano suspension bridge. My sister is afraid of heights but still made it across the bridge and thought it was worth it. You can see <a href="http://www.nauticalbynatureblog.com/2014/04/pacific-northwest-trip-vancouver.html" rel="nofollow">my photos here</a><br /><br />I really enjoyed exploring Granville Island. There are cute stores, restaurants, and a farmer's market. <a href="http://www.nauticalbynatureblog.com/2014/05/pacific-northwest-trip-vancouver.html" rel="nofollow">My post on Granville</a>.<br /><br />Not sure if you have a hotel yet but I highly recommend the Georgian Court hotel. <br />We stayed on the Orchid Floor which included a bunch of extras: a flat iron, curling iron, upgraded Aveda amenities, a yoga mat, additional satin-padded and skirt hangers plus In Style and other fashion magazines. For no extra charge! <br /><br />Restaurants I loved<br />Nicli: Delicious Neapolitan pizza<br />Medina: for breakfast, the waffles are a must orderKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00754129167778925729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590539123641899702.post-15027887603592092102015-04-22T12:25:13.843-05:002015-04-22T12:25:13.843-05:00ps: Have a great Birthday too! your birthday is th...ps: Have a great Birthday too! your birthday is the same day as my brother's!

It's such a beautiful city, you will LOVE it. Stanley Park is definitely a must, you can rent bikes, walk or do a tour bus that takes you along the entire walkway. With the old growth trees it's absolutely gorgeous. Canada Place and Gastown are the two touristy (but still great) areas downtown to check out. Gastown is basically the ol' main street strip where you'll find shops, restaurants etc. Just don't stray too far of water street as the next street over is pretty dodgy. One of my favourite places in gastown to stop for a drink and a bite to eat is Steamworks brewing co. It's a brew pub with delicious beers, and the food was really good when I was there too (though it was several years ago). Kitsilano is the coolest and hippest neighbourhood with lots of shopping and amazing restaurants. You'll absolutely love Vancouver, I'm sure. If you have extra time (and have a car) I recommend heading to North Van to do the Capilano suspension bridge...it's really neat, though if you're afraid of heights it can be a teeny bit scary. You can also hike around there too, I did the Grouse Mountain hike last time I was there. Have a great time!
