Sringtime Holiday in Vancouver BC

March 5, 2010

Some may call it Global warming because Vancouver had the warmest February on record during the 2010 Olympic Games. I call it Olympic Gold Fever! It seemed as soon as we won our First Gold medal the pink plumb trees opened their flower buds from joy, because the whole region was cheering so loudly. With each gold medal that was won more tree buds opened up, first, the white plumb trees, than the magnolias and now we have the pink cherry trees in bloom thought our area.

This is an exciting time to be taking a holiday in Vancouver. Like the trees the spring flowers are fully out and the lime green of the wiping willows is doted everywhere. Read more

Our Day Trip to Vancouver and the 2010 Olympic Attractions

March 1, 2010

Our day trip to Downtown Vancouver and the Olympic Attractions was a wonderful experience which will be remembered for a lifetime.

Getting to Downtown Vancouver from one of the Best Places in the Pacific Northwest, Dancing Firs – Retreat, Executive Suites and B&B, in White Rock, BC was very easy. We walked about 4 short blocks to the 351 Bus, which took us to the Canada Line Sky Train, Bridgeport Station (35 min). At the Canada Line Station we squeezed in with hundreds of others to go to the Waterfront terminus (22 min). The Sky Train station brought us to Coal Harbour, Historic Gas Town, Canada Place and the New Convention Centre. Read more

• Absolutely the BEST!!!

  If you are in White Rock and are looking for a FABULOUS place to stay this is IT! You will absolutely love it. We would give it 10 STARS!!! It is first class all the way! The beds/pillows are the best. Mary is the owner and the most gracious lovely woman. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Dancing Firs. The breakfasts are magnificent as well. Thanks Mary!!!! Gayle from Victoria, BC.

• You will think you’ve died and gone to heaven!

  My husband and I stayed here for two months in 2007 while we were looking for property in the area. We have revisited many times since then. The accommodations are beyond comfortable - they are beautiful. The property sits on a very high bluff over the ocean and the views are stunning. The owner is an artist when it comes to creating an experience that is at once healing and luxurious. An amazing place - you won't want to leave.... Trishrae, St. Albert, Alberta.
