Today was Valentines Day.. VD which also stands for Vancouver day. It was time to leave portland after this really nice visit. .. Before we left today, I ran two of Jens mugs full of chocolates over to Gabe’s house for him and Sam.. I left them by the back door because it was too early for them to be up.

Then we were off to the airport for the short hop to Vancouver… It was such a short ride that we were in a DASH 8 propeller plane. We have not been inside a propeller plane in along time (which is odd because I help make them now 🙂

We got to Vancouver, rented a car and headed down own to our hotel .
We then went oput to explore the city.. Its a big city.. but still very nice place.. The people are really great. too !
Our first stop was Japadog.. a famous Japanese hot-dog franchise thats really famous here.

From tehre we went on a fast hike to explore this beautiful city. the setting is stunning.. the bay and ocean  are our favorite part. The architecture is very cool too. We went down to the ater and watched the seaplanes land and take off..   We hiked out to Stanely park and then came back to a Poke place near the hotel.. very good !

We like this place !
nite all nite sam
