Vancouver: part 1

I wanted to give my mom a little vacation, so I planned a trip for us to go visit one of the schools that I want to go to in North Carolina. But, the flights filled up and we couldn't get there, so we decided to go somewhere else. We went to Vancouver, because my mom wanted a stamp in her passport. We had fun, but it didn't feel like much of a vacation, because it was short and ended up costing A LOT of money. While, I liked Vancouver, there are many other places I would rather go. It was kinda cool to see all the things they are doing to get ready for the olympics, so I enjoyed that. I am not a traveler that goes to see big cities, Vancouver is like many other cities here in the U.S. and I am a traveler that likes to see history and gorgeoue landscapes, which all came with Italy and Ireland. So, it wasn't my favorite. But I think if we went again, we would go in the slow season, rent a car and drive to Victoria or Whistler (the big mountain in Vancouver that they are hosting the Olymipcs at). Oh, well it was a good experience, until I got stuck in the Vancouver airport over night. I gave my mom, my seat so that she could get home and get to work, and I slept in the FREEZING cold airport until the next morning when I could catch a flight out. It is amazing that got any sleep that night. It was a new experience and one that I am glad I experienced... but I wasn't so glad while it was happening. Oh well, I am home now, safe and happy that I went to Vancouver. :)

Here are some pictures from out trip... I have to say that I LOVE taking pictures. :)
