Vacation Day #2 - Vancouver

We had breakfast at the hotel, walked to Starbucks, and took a stroll through the city. After the party animals go to sleep, (so, soo many party animals downtown on a Saturday night) Vancouver is quite nice! One of my all-time favorite photos of Sexy Nerd. These photos were taken by the Canada Place cruise ship terminal. "Gimme that camera!" "I want to move to Vancouver!" We walked through Stanley Park. Nothing in Albuquerque can compete with it. Ooh, canadian geese in Canada! While strolling through the park, we came across many raccoons, including this mom & baby: We walked back to the cruise ship terminal, checked in, then continued sightseeing. The steam clock in Gas Town: Next, it was time for some lunch. Holland America Veendam, here we come! Coolest thing on the ship? Touch-screen game tables in the Mix Lounge.

Vacation Day #1 - Seattle

After flying to Seattle from Albuquerque, we took the light rail to the Amtrak station, where we were able to check our luggage. Next, it was time to explore the waterfront. Who can resist having their photo taken with a giant penguin? Not me. We walked to the mall. Sexy Nerd found a more manly penguin for his photo. Downtown Seattle seemed a bit rough so we made sure to be back at the Amtrak station before dark. The station is undergoing a huge restoration project right now. The Amtrak station started with a beautiful, intricate ceiling. Some time during the 60s, someone had the "brilliant" idea to modernize the building - by installing a drop ceiling! I can't believe Amtrak has waited this long to start uncovering the original ceiling. We arrived in Vancouver shortly before midnight. It wasn't the best 1st impression of Canada. We're old fuddy duddys and on Saturday night/early Sunday morning, Vancouver is a party town!
