August 2017 – Our Adventure Book

Hello!

Recently, Alan graduated from Texas A&M (Whoop!) and decided to take a trip with a friend of his to Vancouver, Canada and Seattle, Washington. This trip was literally planned four days before take off! Alan was looking forward to simply exploring new cities and cultures.

Our Airbnb was in Burnaby, which is located in West Vancouver.

Of course Alan had to do a cool picture with his new Aggie Ring #PhotographyGameStrong

The weather was typically cloudy half the day and then sunshine the rest

Had to have some Poutine! Also experienced some domestic Canadian beer. By the way, this is Andrew!

Areana of the local Hockey team, the Vancouver Canucks!

Visited a local brew house. Delicious beer here at Faculty Brewing Co.!

The sea wall is a great place to take in the scenery. Alan of course decided to sport the fanny pack just to be sure everyone knew he was a tourist.

The Capilano suspension bridge located in North Vancouver offers a nature activity that pairs wonderfully with the summer weather!

Asian culture was all over the city. Alan and Andrew enjoyed some Japanese BBQ the last night in Vancouver!

Chinatown in Vancouver has a public garden that seems to escape the feel of a metropolitan area.

Amtrak has a train of Vancouver to Seattle that shows that beauty of the West Coast!

The train ride takes about four hours, and while you take in the view you can purchase drinks!

The Boeing museum of flight is a great place to visit while in Seattle. They even have Kennedy’s Airforce One plane!

Pike’s Place is a neat place to visit, just be prepared to walk because it is a large market place. Great walk up places for snacks and dessert!

The Space Neetle gives a great view of the entire city. Just make sure when you go that you set aside a few hours because the lines are long.

Our last event in Seattle was going to the Seahawks vs. Vikings pre-season game! Seahawks fans are a breed of their own with the excitement.
