At Kadoya Japanese Restaurant-------------------------------------------------------
We've been to a road trip last week since it was my daughter's spring break. It was our first time to see Canada. It took us only 3 1/2 hour drive from our place to downtown Vancouver. Actually, we didn't plan on going there, we never booked a hotel and we didn't know where to go. Our initial plan was to go snowboarding since that was my daughter's request but plans changed and we just decided to drive to Canada. That always happens to us anyways hehehe.
Fortunately we were able to find a hotel to stay but only for one night because the following day the hotel was fully booked due to Bon Jovi's Concert. Our hotel place was close to English Bay Beach, which is the most popular in sunbathing, swimming and sunset watching beach in the downtown Vancouver area.
After checking-in we headed to a Japanese Restaurant which was also a stone's throw away from our hotel, we were hungry and my kids were craving for sushi. The restaurant was superb, we liked it!
Vancouver's climate is pretty much the same as Washington: rainy, cloudy and gloomy ;-) I guess it's just an extension of Seattle ;-)
I will post more pictures on my next post ;-)

I wish you guys stop by our house. Nasa Bellingham kami ng asawa ko. Sayang sana nag kita tayo. Oh well, maybe next time. Beautiful photos!
That looks like great fun :) I can't believe you can drive to Canada so easily! *jealous* I've only been once, to Ottawa, but I really loved it.
Reena- thanks, it's nice there but the weather was gloomy; were your parents able to go to Canada then? hehehe
Lorena- thanks for inviting me, I saw Bellingham on our way to Canada nga, we didn't plan on going there maybe some other time we can meet up ;-)
