Our family spent two nights in Vancouver, BC, Canada. It was a fantastic trip, the city was gorgeous, the people were great, and we just had a great time. The kids loved it so much they wanted to move to Canada. :)

This is the Bridge Studio, the place where Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis was filmed. It is across the street from our hotel. The hotel was also a filming location, you'll see pictures of it on the Filming Locations page. |
This is the back lot of Stage 5, where Stargate SG-1 was filmed. |
Me and the girls, waiting for the Sky Train to arrive. Public transportation here is great! |
Erin enjoying her ride on the Sky Train. |
Nicole also enjoying her ride on the Sky Train. I think this was one of the best parts of the trip for her. :) |
In Downtown, we came across this bit of art that was also structural for the building above it. In full view, it looks like a spring out of a clothes pin. :) |
You just CAN'T avoid going to the biggest candy shop in the city when you visit downtown Vancouver! |
These are the Kamui Mintara Totems in Burnaby Mountain Park. They're super cool! |
Erin is so strong, she can hold up this totem! |
Nicole can hold it up too! Wow, what strong kids I have. :) |
Nicole couldn't resist rolling down the hill in the park. |
This is a huge mural thingy on the ground, also in Burnaby Mountain Park. |
This is the view of Vancouver from Burnaby Mountain Park. |
And this is a view of a water way on the other side of the park. I'm not sure if this is a river or an inlet from the ocean. |
We visited Simon Fraser University, which was the filming location for the world of Tollana in Stargate SG-1. |
There were fish in that pond!! |
At Simon Fraser University, we came across this artwork. And of course, Nicole had to stand in it. :) |
Erin had to stand in it, too. :) |
That night, we had dinner with Neil's friend at a great place called Moxie's. Great food! |
Here are the girls with Neil's friend, Ellery. |
Here's a view of downtown Vancouver, from where we were sitting at Moxie's. It's a lovely city! |
