Vancouver Travel Guide

June 24, 2020

Posted by Lauren Rodych-Eberle

I used to live in White Rock, BC when I was younger and even after I moved, I spent many trips back there with family and friends. We often popped into Vancouver for little day trips, but now as an adult visiting friends, I’ve been there for more days at a time with the exploring mindset at top of mind! Vancouver is beautiful, and rainy (so always pack rain gear), but…beautiful!

Activities

  • Rent bikes at Spokes Bicycle Rental and bike the Seawall
  • Hike the Iceberg Lake Trail
  • Do the Grouse Grind Hike (you have to pay for the gondola down – it is not permitted to hike down)
  • The Vancouver Aquarium is nice, if that’s your kind of thing!
  • Wander around Stanley Park

Other activities that I didn’t get a chance to do, but were recommended and/or researched:

  • Cross the Capilano Suspension Bridge (this is hardcore on my bucket list)
  • You could always hit up a Vancouver Canucks hockey game

Now to the Food…

Restaurants

  • Jam Café – there will definitely be a line for breakfast (check out the tater bowl)
  • Honey Doughnuts and Goodies – their honey doughnut tastes like a waffle with syrup!
  • The Boathouse Restaurant – nice food!
  • Reflections Bar at Hotel Georgia – the Garden Terrace rooftop patio
  • Minami Sushi – get the black truffle scallop

Other Restaurants that I didn’t get a chance to try, but were recommended and/or researched:

  • Nuba – Mediterranean cuisine
  • Nightingale – Tapas-style & Canadian fare
  • Joe Fortes – Seafood restaurant, but go there for brunch!
  • Kissa Tanto – when Italian and Japanese cuisine’s marry
  • Ask For Luigi Restaurant – Italian

Enjoy Beautiful British Columbia!!

ABOUT ME
I’m Lauren and I have a deep passion for music, food, the outdoors, and travel. I love random questions and fun facts, and am always searching for better ways to bring wellness and health into my life. I am the owner of Miss Lauren’s Music Studio, where I teach voice, piano, ukulele, and preschool music classes – via Skype and within Calgary. I am a Senior Consultant for Pampered Chef, which has inspired me over the years to write two cookbooks (plus one mini ebook cookbook), that have food preparation made easy in the forefront.

Ready to hear my biggest overwhelm? The stuff. I Ready to hear my biggest overwhelm?

The stuff. I know this is a privileged point, so please be kind. I’ve always attempted to be a wannabe-minimalist (seeing as I have two of everything living between two places, but I want everything to have a purpose and a ‘home.’). 

I’ve very much noticed this be a trigger point for me since having kids, because J and I both have big families, and although their gift giving comes with so much heart and generosity, I’ve tried to find ways to bring in less stuff and to teach my kids to appreciate each gift, sooo less is more. 

Many years ago, my siblings adopted Sibling Christmas where instead of gifts, we have a special night out together! We love this tradition. After the overwhelm I felt this Christmas, being generously gifted Eberle gifts for now TWO kids, I asked J’s siblings if we can adopt a family-friendly event next year and remove all aunt/uncle/cousin gifts. Shout out to all my brother/sister-in-laws for getting on board. 

With C’s birthday party coming up, she asked for no gifts (OR a book as a gift).

Small steps, but always trying!!

Have you found any ways to minimize the stuff chaos in your house?!

Taking your car to the shop with car seat aged kids. 

Do you hang out in the shop with the kids for hours? Do you bring travel car seats and install them to get them home? Honestly, what have y’all done? Having another human help isn’t the solution here for me this time…😅

🎶’Cause I got a roof over my head I got a war 🎶’Cause I got a roof over my head
I got a warm body in bed
I'm doing alright right where I'm at
With what I have

[I got a Jeep, I got a dog]
I got what they call a dream job
Plenty to want, nothing wrong with that
But I'm happy with what I have

I got the air, good eyes to see
Got so much more than I'll ever need
Even the bad days ain't all that bad
With what I have🎶
