All of our photos from before we attended the Opening Ceremonies have been posted on the Picasa site now. We spent the day wondering around Stanley Park and downtown as well as paying a visit to Yaletown and our old condo building as we made our way to BC Place. It's odd to think about how close we were to the kids calling Vancouver home instead of Toronto. Two more months and Ainsley would have been born there.
We got to Stanley Park after the torch had been through that morning and crews were still busy taking down the barricades. It was a dreary morning, as Vancouver can tend to be in the winter but the site of crocuses beginning to bloom made me wonder why we ever left.
This was the day that we realized Ainsley had no idea Vancouver was in Canada when she asked why there were so many people wearing Canada shirts but she knows now that she has been 'from sea to shining sea.'
