Van and mom in Stanley park with Vancouver in the background

Well it has been a couple weeks since we left New Haven and we have been though alot but we are in Vancouver now. I have posted a few pictures from the last couple weeks but be assured most of them are similar to the ones where the three of us are in the Jeep driving. We were surprised at how hard it was to find an apt here. The vacancy rate is under 1% and within that 1% is a lot of competition especially if you don't have any credit as you are new to the country and our good credit from the U.S. did not apply here. We found a great apt. and will be moving in June 27th but will be in a motel or with friends until that time. We are still having fun but it hasn't been all smiles. We hope that after we are settled we will get some visitors and can't wait to explore our new place with them.
The following pics are in order this one being the most recent.

Stanley park, B.C.


Van and Anthony


O.k. so, we are in White Rock which is where our new apt. is and we went to a kids park to let out some energy and met Anthony who's dad is from Jersey. Anthony and Van are 3 days apart, Anthony was born in Canada and celebrates his birthday on U.S. independance day (July 4th)and Van was born in U.S. and celebrates his birthday on Canada day (July 1st). Van is a little taller and Anthony is a couple pounds heavier but I think they look very similar and if Geneva had not given Van a haircut then I think it would even be more so. Anyway, they had a good time and we took his number and hopefully they will get to hang out some more.

Just sit right back and I'll tell you a tale,
a tale of a fateful trip,
from Ct, to B.C. going 55,
on a 70 hour trip,
a 70 HOUR TRIP.

Look what Evan won at the casino
