This weekend, we checked out the closing festivities of the Vancouver International Jazz Festival at David Lam Park (pictured). This park is a couple blocks from our apartment, right against the seawall. It was a blast. They had lots of food, arts & crafts, face painting, hula hoop area, mural painting, a balloon man (and woman) and playground for the kids. Couples and groups of adults were able to enjoy picnics in front of the concert stage. There was something for everyone.
Melvin lost his phone at the festival and didn't realize until after we put the kids down to bed. It turns out this woman found it and called practically everyone on his phone list. She waited for Melvin at the park and all was good...after Melvin got his phone, he realized she called people in the U.S., Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. LOL
On Sunday, we took the bus to the West End (5-10 minute ride) and checked out English Bay, pictured below, again (this is where Judy & I took the kids). Lots of fun in the sand for Julian. We ended our day with a nice meal at a Greek Restaurant. You can find every type of ethnic food in the West End. It is great.
