July 2019-our family embarked on our first international adventure! Together we traveled to Vancouver, Canada for 10 days! This was the perfect way to celebrate the end of nursing school & NCLEX studying plus take advantage of the Summer + time before work. Mom planned our trip and each day was jam packed with fun activities! The weather was beautiful, crisp clear air and around 60 degrees most days with a few afternoon showers but they didn’t keep us from having any fun!
Where We Stayed-
The fabulous Sutton Hotel in the heart of downtown Vancouver! It was walking distance to so many great places including Robson Street 🙂 images via
