Vancouver

This is actually my second full day being in Vancouver. I haven't had much of a chance to post on my blog yet, mainly because I only get to use my tablet after my young 6 year old grand daughter goes to bed after 8 o'clock. She has full control of it during her waking hours. Ha.

I should qualify that statement by saying that yesterday she was actually gone to the Vancouver Science centre as part of her day camp experience, so she didn't actually have her hands on it until she returned home at 4 o'clock. But I had been out myself for part of the day, so I didn't have much time to figure out more of how to use the Blogger app on my tablet. You will have to bear with me. I also haven't had much opportunity to visit much of Vancouver city. I have been here several times before, so I no longer need to have the "nickel and dime" tour. I have been to Costco, Shoppers Drug Mart, the Dollar Store, and Wal-Mart. They all look the same no matter what part of the country you visit. My DIL has had appointments both days that I have been here, which have really dragged her out. I have barely talked to her. She has needed a lot of rest, and her medications and treatments are still constantly changing.

The weather here on the west coast has been amazing since I have arrived.....warm and sunny. This afternoon my son, grand daughter and I went to a nearby water park to cool down. It was filled with families having picnics and  enjoying the shade under the old established trees in the park. I bought a few postcards today and was able to write out a few of them to mail out tomorrow. Monday morning we will leave for California and we hope to get as far as Seaside in Oregon  by the end of the first day.
