February, March and April are great times to go adventure in our lovely parks on the North shore and around Vancouver. I'm a little bit of a nature nerd and have a need to be outside as often as possible. About three weeks a go the man had to work the weekend, so I picked up a coffee and some snacks and ran around (run = walk) Lynn Canyon for a good 3 hours. It's just nice to be able to be surrounded by nature and forest even though you're in the city. It takes you out of the noise, the confusion (confusion that at most times, I do like) and forces you to stop, breath and relax. And I like that.

Two weeks ago, we went to Deep Cove and did the Quarry Rock hike. We made a quick stop at Honey Doughnuts, picked up and Americano (delicious) and a doughnut (of course). It was a quicker hike than I hoped, but the view is stunning and the huge rock at the top has a beautiful view of the cove. It is a stunning location for a picnic (or doughnut treats) and basking in the sun, when it does come out! It's uphill most of the hike, but it's short (30 min - 1 hr) and very beautiful.

I'll try to do more urban stuff soon, I tend to forget to take pics when I'm doing fun stuff around town, probably because I end up looking like a tourist! I promise, we do fun stuff in the city too.
