It was an hour drive through the cities to get to Capilano. And we drove over a huge new bridge that apparently takes a picture of your license plate and bills you for the toll. Dave and Melissa said we would get the bill in a couple of months and that they find you no matter what kind of vehicle you are driving...even rentals. The cost to cross the bridge is $10 every time!
Soon we arrived at the Suspension bridge. We had a great time at this amazing park! We had to walk across a suspensed bridge that was the length of 2 1/2 hockey rinks. It was a bit intimidating being so high and swaying as much as it did.
The bridge took us into the rain forest where we enjoyed a treetop adventure so high up in the trees, beautiful scenery and huge, old trees.
After we had explored this side of the bridge we headed back over the long suspension bridge and visited the gift shop before leaving.
Then, while eating our picnic lunch on the drive, we headed to the Aquarium in the middle of Stanley Park. The traffic was bad and it took us quite a while to get a parking spot.
We were much later getting to the Aquarium than we had hoped so we headed to the Beluga whale show. It was cool to see the Beluga whales but the show was a bit lame. At this point we were very hot, hungry and tired and I was afraid we had wasted our money here. But we plugged through until the dolphin show which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Then we watched the 4D movie they had and really enjoyed that too.
The plan had been to play in the park for a while but we were all so tired and hungry by then we decided to order in pizza and head back to the house.
We settled in and had a great supper and then watched "Heaven is for Real" with the kids and then it was off to bed.
It was a great day but very busy and exhausting...
