The next night of my Christmas tour in Vancouver brought me to the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. This is the second time coming here, but the first time seeing the Canyon Lights displays. I suggest arriving earlier before sunset to see the bridges in the day time and return for the light displays after dark. The views of the Capilano River are amazing during the day, which is not visible during the night.
This December I made my annual trip up north to Vancouver, BC to visit family for some early Christmas vibes. Of course I had originally planned for a couple hikes in Squamish & Whistler, but was totally unaware about the freezing conditions up on those northern mountains. (Give me a break, I’m from NorCal where we go most of all four seasons). So instead of the outdoor activities, I turned my attention to Christmas events since I knew a city like Vancouver would have so much to offer.
Spending time together during the holidays is something I reminisce on every single year. With Christmas just a few days away, I felt it would be perfect that I start off my Christmas blogs with one of my favorite holiday tradition - Christmas movies. So many of these holiday films have shaped the way how I celebrate Christmas. It’s also a great way to learn about the true meaning of Christmas.
I cannot begin to express how excited I am to kick this off. For some time now, I’ve wanted to start blogging as a personal journal and creative outlet for my travels and thoughts, but I held myself back with every excuse I could make up: no one will read it, people will make fun of you, there is already 800 millions of other blogs. But ultimately, with the words of encouragement from several friends, I decided to just go for it! If even one of the journeys inspire one person, then I’m a happy camper.
