Crossing the Border to Canada

Moving on from Mt. Rainier, we headed to Canada. We stopped at Snoqualmie Falls in Washington.


There was a pretty walk/hike by the falls and we wanted to stretch our legs.


Here we come Canada! This is my first trip to Canada! I'm 42. It shouldn't have taken this long! 


This arch was by the border station.


First stop in Canada: Tim Hortons! Merril always stops by Tim Hortons when he's in Canada. It's like a donut and coffee shop but also has salads, wraps, sandwiches and soup.


The donuts are slightly less sweet than American donuts and I think better. Tim Hortons! Open a location here!


Cool bridge!


Basically we got to Canada and went to a hotel to sleep. The next day we woke up and went to church. 


Bonus: The church building shares the parking lot with the Vancouver Temple! So we were able to walk around the temple grounds after church!


Then we visited a botanical garden.


Lots of pretty stuff there!



There was a zen garden. These two needed to chill out.


Then we went to Lynn Creek and walked across this cool suspension bridge and the Baden Powell Trail. He was the founder of the boy scouts of America.


Some dudes were jumping into the falls. They were wearing wetsuits but there were a couple park officials watching them with nervous eyes. So Merril and I stopped and talked with them for a minute about search and rescue.


Such a pretty stroll through the woods!





Our hotel this night was on the water in Vancouver. It was pretty nice!
