On August 3rd, my godparents Vince and Niki got married!  We flew into Seattle for the wedding, unfortunately missing the rehearsal but making it in time for theVinceNickWed4_webres.jpg (62795 bytes) rehearsal dinner.  The next day was the wedding.  I wore a cute white dress loaned to me by one of my friends from playgroup. I AfterWedGenPlay3_webres.jpg (94008 bytes)liked the wedding and didn't even make too many squeaks and clicks during the ceremony.  The reception was nice too, but the music was very loud and I wasRec10_webres.jpg (86972 bytes) ready for my nap so Dad had to walk me around outside.

Then we went to Vancouver for a few days.  Vancouver was very nice.  We stayed at the Westin Bayshore, which had some amenities I really appreciated.  1)  Elevators, which I love.  We were staying on the 13th floor so I got to take quite a few rides.  2)  A pool.  I love to swim.  I don't even mind it when Mom or Dad is lame and dunks my face.  3)  A high chair in my room so that I could eat whenever I wanted.  4)  A "kid pack" of toiletries complete with a toy for me!  5) Room service.  Okay, this was more for Mom and Dad than me.

In Vancouver we walked all around Stanley Park and went to the aquarium there.  Vanc5_webres.jpg (129528 bytes)I LOVED the aquarium.  I liked to talk to all of the fish and I would cry wheneverVanc2_webres.jpg (71408 bytes) Mom took me away, until I got to the next display.  I also really liked the butterfly exhibit, and Mom liked that they had a sloth that she could see up close.  We had lunch at the Fish House, one of Vancouver's Vanc6_webres.jpg (148869 bytes)best restaurants and I was good!  The next day we went all around the shopping district in Vancouver.  I didn't get anything new, though.  And then it was time to go home.   A nice little vacation!
