An Afternoon on Vancouver’s North Shore

Although we've been to Vancouver several times, each visit has only served to remind us how much there is to see and do in the city and surrounding area.

Brian's boss was in town for a few days from Italy and wanted to walk around downtown and experience Seattle's main attractions. He didn't give us much direction …

Victoria, BC: Downtown, Royal BC and Foodie Tour

After an eventful trip to Vancouver Island, we were excited for our early check in at the James Bay Inn so we could clean up and set out for our first day in Victoria, BC. Our inn was only a quick walk from downtown and in a lovely residential neighborhood called the James Bay Area. The …
