Did a lot in my short stay. It was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it. I would definetly go there again (most likely in the summer time). I have heard that Vancouver rains a lot so we were not surprise to get a little wet. It rained off and on for 2 out of the 5 days we were there. Didn't really bother us since it was a light rain.

Richmond rocks! My family and I go up to Richmond frequently. Kids' hangout place is the Watermania on No.6 Road. The cost is reasonable. 8 bucks Canadian for two kids and they can stay there all day while having a true splash. I think it is subsidized by the tax payer. While up there, stay at Airport Marriot. It's a really nice hotel with a swimming pool all to yourself for the most part. This Gelato shop in the London Plaza off No.3 Road and Westminster Highway is great, but I forgot the name. For Chinese foods, try out this place-Northern Delicacy in the Aberdeen Centre by Cambie and Hazelbridge. Will write about Little Italy or Latin Quarter in Vancouver next time.
