Friday Fab Five - Summer Daze

Ocean breeze, patio drinks, boating, seawall strolls, barbeques... how I miss you!  For this Friday fab 5, I'm dedicating it to my 5 favorite things to do in Vancity, once the weather turns up.

1. Seawall Strolls - The Vancouver seawall is 22km (13.7 miles) of pure ocean bliss.  This is where every outdoorsy Vancouverite usually flocks to on a sunny weekend for a walk/jog/cycle/skate.  I feel like the seawall will always have my heart, as I've spent my whole life absorbing its beauty.  This is the place to catch gorgeous sunsets, stop at random beaches or patios along the way, or watch the city lights and mountain backdrops.  I cant wait to pack up that baby stroller and introduce Sophia to this Vancouver gem soon :)


 


 
2. Vancouver Daycation at Lighthouse Park!  This might be different now that we have Sophie, but Ill just slap that baby Bjorn carrier on daddy, as we spend the day hiking and soaking up the sun.
 

 
3. Barbeques!!!! Whether at a friends house for a pool party, or a bbq at the beach - this is something I miss all year round!
 

 
4. Sunny Patio Drinks.  Nothing beats patio relaxation in the summer - preferably by the water.  This is a must have for me after a day of activities.  Cold beer, white wine or sangria and I'm in heaven.


 
5. Summertime Events - Whether its the watching the sensational fireworks at the Celebration of Light, indulging in fancy grilled cheese sandwiches & mint lemonade at the weekend Food Truck Festival, catching a Caps game, dancing the day away in the beer garden at Caribbean Days or Latin Days, and everything in between - there is always an event happening every weekend.  It's the perfect place to meet up with friends, and soak up what the city has to offer.
 
 
Happy Friday darlings!!

  1. Those pictures of/near the seawall are SO pretty! But my favorite pic is your hubby tending the grill with a fork. Somehow that little fork just makes me laugh!

    1. hahahaha I know right. It was from his first time barbequing ever! So he had his phone to google how to bbq wings. I loved it as he was trying so hard to be king of our mini grill.

  4. Normally I would just love reading a post like this, but right now, as I shovel several feet of snow out of my driveway in negative fifteen temps, I just want to cry...
    This place is breathtakingly beautiful!

    1. Eeeek! If it makes you feel better, my mom lives in the Yukon in an area where its so cold in the winter, you have to wear goggles when you go outside or your eyelids will freeze shut from the cold tears. Hopefully that snow disappears soon! I only like snow on the mountains - where I can actually plan to visit it and be prepared - not actually have it linger around where it gets all icy and gross :(
