Canada!

We took a trip on Saturday to Canada. It's a 2.5 hour drive from Seattle to Vancouver and we figured Gideon's such an experienced traveler he wouldn't mind. Well everything was going great until we got to the border and realized as we were in the 40 minute line to cross into Canada that we were missing Trevor's passport. I thought I'd checked to make sure we had both, but apparently I'd missed it. We were way bummed that we had traveled so far (and with an infant) and would have to just go straight back. There was nowhere to turn around until we got to the front of the line with the border control. When we got to the officer he asked to see what documents we had, asked a couple questions and then just let us cross. Now we were in a foreign country WITHOUT a passport. We were a little nervous, but excited we didn't have to just turn back.

We headed first to Burnabee Village Museum. It's a cute little museum where they made a whole village to look like back in the 1920 era. They had costumed tour guides and tons of artifacts from that time.

 Here Gideon is in front of the bridge that crosses into the main village. As you can see its very VERY green, just like Seattle. There are a lot of similarities between Vancouver area and Seattle area.

Here Gideon is ready to hold up this bank. You can see the open vault right behind him!

 Next we went to a crepe place (amazing!) and then to Stanley Park, the biggest park in the world!

Then we finished the day at the Nook, an Italian restaurant where we got to sit right at the chef's table! It was soo good.  We were nervous about coming home because of the missing passport, but the border control just asked us a bunch of questions, rolled his eyes at the Canadian border control and let us in. Gideon is very well traveled now, having been to 6 states and Canada all before 5 months old!
