How long have you lived in Vancouver?
I’m one of those rare people who was born here.
Where do you look for books in Vancouver?
Now I’ve had kids I can indulge my children’s lit fetish with no shame at Vancouver Kidsbooks.
What’s your favourite restaurant for a romantic dinner?
Les Faux Bourgeois.
What is the best thing to do with kids in Vancouver?
The beach. Any time of year and in any weather. At the beach kids can build sand castles and mud pies and explore tide pools. They can draw in the sand with a stick and get chased by waves and commune with the seagulls. They can get dirty and sandy and wet and no one minds, not like at home or at a restaurant. And of course you can get fries or a popsicle from the concession when you’re done to top off your trip.
What’s your favourite free thing to do in Vancouver?
We love walking the new seawall by the Olympic athletes village – when it’s open of course. There’s lots to explore and see and on good days we make it all the way from Science World to Granville Island.
Thanks Annemarie!
