Beautiful Vancouver

Growing up I was lucky to call Vancouver my home. Surrounded by mountains, ocean, beaches and beautiful forests of Sitka Spruce, Douglas Fir, and Western Red Cedar, it truly is a beautiful city. Warm summer days might have found us at English Bay, Spanish Banks, Kitsilano or Jericho Beach.
Other times we would have fun visiting Stanley Park and the Stanley Park Zoo which was free and which dated back to 1888 when Stanley Park first opened. The Zoo closed in 1996. Back in the 1950s it was always a treat to see the polar bears, the penguins and the otters. Walking around Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park was also fun.
