The cruise ended in Vancouver. Vinny was feeling about 80% better thankfully. We
dropped off our luggage at our hotel and walked all around downtown Vancouver
and Stanley Park. The city was much larger than I was expecting, good for people
watching ;)
The next day we woke up and headed to Seattle to visit my Aunt and catch our
flight home. We had a wonderful lunch with my Aunt Candi and Uncle Chris and
then the three of us headed to Pike's Market. It made me wish I lived in Seattle so I could bring home some fresh flowers and produce, not to mention the crafts. We had a really nice time there. We then headed for a tour of the area, got to see where my aunt works and went to one of her favorite walking parks with AMAZING landscaping. We then headed back to her house for an evening of board games, food, and chatting. We both really enjoyed our short time in Seattle.
