Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge

Last Monday, we had the day off to rest & explore. We chose to explore more than resting, and it was well worth it. The morning started out with about an hour & a half trek from our apartment to a suspension bridge. We took all forms of the public transportation... SkyTrain, SeaBus, & Bus. We went with another family who is here in Vancouver training with us. They have 3 little boys (5, 3, & almost 1) who loved every minute of the exploration.

The bridge was really neat & beautiful! But the best part was on the other side of the bridge. It was absolutely gorgeous. I love going to the beach and taking in the beauty of the waves crashing, looking off into the horizon, but this was a different kind of beauty. This was northwest beauty. We enjoyed hiking through the woods & taking it all it. It was really peaceful. Shows how creative our God is in His artwork.

After that, we walked around Chinatown for a bit with some other friends. Lots of people, stores, and colors. It was really a neat area. In the middle of Chinatown was a beautiful garden that we ventured into. We enjoyed watching our friend's little boy take it all in & play around. He loved to talk to the ducks & run through the bamboo. The garden was a nice place to go in the middle of chaos.

And then we headed back to our apartment, stopping by the grocery store along the way. In the grocery store we met a couple from Africa and have since built a relationship with them. We're excited to see where this relationship might go. Once we thought we were done with our fun for the day, another set of friends came over for dinner with their sweet little boy. We enjoyed our time with them as well! Needless to say, we didn't relax much on Monday, but it was well worth it. We got to take in so many different sights & sounds of our new city. We look forward to having time to go back to each of these places.
