Way back when I first moved to Vancouver in 1994, I worked at a vitamin shop in North Vancouver and to get to it I took the Seabus every morning and hiked up the hill to the store. I spent a lot of time on my lunch breaks at Lonsdale Quay and was somewhat burnt out by the whole place. So, I haven’t been in ages.
Today I wanted to find something for Kale and I do to prevent him sitting in front of the TV for too long and me being annoyed, so I proposed we go on a safari. I present to you: Lonsdale Quay: A Pictorial Safari.

That looks like THE BEST DAY EVER!!!!!
There may have also been some ice cream, that I did not photograph because it was melting too fast! ๐
Hey do you remember that time Jenna and I came over, she was about 4.. we rode the skytrain over the bridge and back, and she got to hold the ticket, and thought it was the BEST time EVER. ๐
Yeah.. good times. ๐
Jen – what a great adventure. When the girls were little that was our favourite place to go. I liked it because I could get my coffee fix from Second Cup as I arrived from Ontario not knowing who the heck Starbucks was and feeling like I was in some weird commercial on tv because I didn’t understand the lingo there.I think the girls probably had their first sushi at Lonsdale too – Yazi for sure. It was a sad day when they were told they were too big for the ballroom. Our other favourite place – again because of a kids play area and access to french fries that could be fed to the birds if we couldn’t eat them all – was Granville Island. The kite shop and the toy shop there always fascinated the girls – not sure if the kite shop is still there or not.We really need to help River Market with their play area sooner rather than later…
