Aaron and I planned to go to Vancouver earlier this Fall, when we were planning out the remainder of our weekends. I had just started a seasonal job at Paper Source and wanted to get as many hours as I could. He asked if he could have December 12th.  The weekend crept up on us, but we were very much looking forward to a day outside of Seattle despite 100% chance of rain. We left early and met with friends for breakfast in Bellingham, which helped break the drive up. Eighty minutes later (and some at the border), we were in Vancity.

Our first stop was Bloedel Floral Conservatory in Queen Elizabeth Park, which makes up most of the photos above. Aaron mentioned that he wanted to find one, and I unintentionally found it via Pinterest, ha! It was the perfect rainy day activity. Tickets were $6.50 each, but we both agreed it was well worth the money. It really felt like we were in another world (similar to what I would imagine Jurassic World would be like) with all the sounds and birds flying around. We spent a good hour there, admiring all the different types of birds and at God's creativity. I'm surprised I'd never heard of this place before, and would definitely come back.
