Our time in Vancouver has been a nice break from the usual adventures that we have been having in the motorhome. Staying with relatives in the heart of downtown Van, we have really enjoyed all that the big city has to offer including walks along the seawall, sightseeing, shopping, and entertainment. We even took a couple of days and drove to Seattle, Washington!
Many mornings, we leave the condo where we are staying and take a walk along the False Creek seawall. Sometimes we walk to Granville Market where fresh fruits, veggies, meats and cheeses are readily available.
A couple of days in the Seattle, Washington area was also quite enjoyable. Below is a picture of the Peace Archway border crossing.
Steve's favorite part of our trip to Seattle was visiting and touring the Boeing Factory. Unfortunately, no cameras or cell phones were allowed so we were limited as to how many pictures we could take. The factory below is the largest building in the world! Disneyland in California can fit inside this complex with 12 acres of space still left over. With 35 000 employees working here each day around the clock, it's a pretty busy place!
Below is one of only four Boeing Dream Lifters in the world used for bringing airplane parts to the Boeing factory. We were lucky to have seen this huge modified 747 land while visiting the factory.
As we approach Seattle, we can see the Space Needle off in the distance.
Having a laugh on the Hop On Hop Off Bus in downtown Seattle. There was plenty of room on the upper deck!
In our research on Seattle, we had discovered that Hollywood movie star Bruce Lee and his son Brandon were both buried in a cemetery in the Seattle area. Fans flock to the area every day leaving flowers and other tokens.
We are all packed and ready to go! Perhaps our flowery luggage tag will give you a hint as to where we are headed next!
Until the next time........
