Olympic Day in Vancouver

Yesterday was a great day! My son loves trains...so we took him on the West Coast Express, which is a comutor train into Vancouver. He was just shaking as he stared out the window, watching the water and the trees pass by. Some much fun with youth...
We headed downtown to soak up some the Olympic atmosphere...and see what was happening! What a zoo!! So many people wandering the streets. So many athletes, just out walking around. Watching people zip line through the air over Robson Street was quite enjoyable. However, the lines for most of the venues where enormous. We where lucky enough to get to sneak into the Canada Venue...which I found rather diapointing. Not much to see there. We did get a great family picture of my wife and I with our son holding up the torch though...so I guess it was all worth it.
At the end of the day, it was just nice to get out there and experience the scenes of the city.
Dinner at Montana's was a nice finish after returning on the train...then it was home to bed for all of us!
Fun times!
