Tree of Life

The Capilano Suspension Bridge (http://www.capbridge.com/) is a great time.  It is worth the train, bus and boat we used to get to it!

We had been warned to avoid driving the RV around town, so we opted  for an alternative method into Vancouver, and we parked at the Train Station in Surrey and hopped the subway there.  The worker was a great help planning our trip and providing the necessary maps to journey through town.  We left Surrey on the subway and arrived downtown in time to hop a ferry to North Vancouver.  There we grabbed the bus and were on our way to Capilano.

Capilano was the destination our friend Winston passionately wanted us to experience.

Capilano was an interesting destination because Kelly is mildly afraid of heights and the 450 foot long suspension bridge is only 230 feet above the river below.  I don't think the height was that big of a deal, but the swaying of the bridge would make the average person a bit nervous about their footing on this baby!

We spent a great deal of energy walking around the trees and enjoying Capilano.  One sign pointed out the significance of the Tree of Life.  I found the sign interesting as my narrow mindedness only allowed me to believe there is one Tree of Life!!!

The time at Capilano was awesome.  But once we returned to the RV, the entire family was more than ready to return to the US.  We had scouted out and knew the best place for us to cross the border was about 13 miles west of the coast.  The line out of Canada was non-existent and the only casualty of our return was our citrus fruit.  (You cannot bring fruit back into the US!)

The suspension bridge is suspenseful!

Walking through the trees.

Kristen has a pretty tight grip!

Kelly has a firm grip on things!

Kelly is missing in action!

An awesome sunset in Anacortes!

We made our way to Anacortes, WA to rest and relax at Fidalgo Bay Resort.  It was an incredible place to spend the evening and the entire family had a great time!
