Hyatt Regency Vancouver

Travel
Written By Charlotte Diorio

Our first Valentines day together we stayed at the Hyatt Recency in Vancouver. Chris had diamond status at the hotel so we had our own floor, access to our own breakfast lounge, an out door pool and a gym. I've never felt so spoiled in my life.

We had a couples massage at the Fairmont in the morning then went for breakfast at Chewie's (I had oysters). Then we walked along the sea wall and had a bottle of wine with dinner at Cardero's on the patio over looking the ocean (best coconut-curry mussels ever).

Jane and I had the honour of being invited behind the scenes for a blogger tour at the aquarium last month. Ever since Jane was born we have been taking her to the aquarium. There's something about the contrasting tanks and colourful fish that she has always loved even before she could crawl.

Every year since Chris and I met we have been going to a pumpkin patch together. When we got pregnant we found a local patch that fit us perfectly. They're a short drive away, have super cute farm animals and an awesome hayride to the pumpkin patch.

August is perfect for heading to outdoor pools. These cooler temperatures mean less crowded pools, more shade and many more pool visits for us! If you don't mind taking the kids out in the evening it's a beautiful time to hit an outdoor pool.

Yay I started a cute little category for all of Jane's posts. I called it See Jane Run. So any post that's about her growing or doing something will have that tag so you can scroll through and check them out. Here are some photos of Jane's first trip to the waterslides. It was SO MUCH FUN! She was laughing and smiling the whole time and kept saying "More Please!" I can't wait to take her again.

Jane can be seen here sitting on my grandparent's floor eating yet another carrot she picked from their garden. And, of course, a few shots of the work we did there. Chris, my Dad and my Grandpa all working on the deck. One of my favourite shots of my grandpa looking silly at the cam

Abbotsford Tulip Festival
Abbotsford Tulip Festival

Dear Vancouver locals and visitors, there are only a few days left to see the beautiful BLOOM Abbotsford Tulip Festival. I suggest you get your tickets online before you go because they sell out quickly and that way you're guaranteed entry. The rows and rows of tulips are so beautiful. It's quite the site and definitely worth the trek out to the valley. Bring your boots! It's quite muddy.

This year I was totally spoiled with a trip to San Francisco for my birthday. Chris and I hit the cable car museum, Union Square, spent a day in Napa Valley touring the vineyards, walked the Golden Gate Bridge, checked out Pier 39, visited the crooked street and so much more. 

Here are some snapshots of our trip and a few MUST SEE places.
