Staycation in Little Italy .

Little Italy sounds lovely, right? :) I’ve passed this neighbourhood so many times, but never had a chance to stop and explore what’s around. Yesterday was the day we did it :) My expectations? Good coffee, delicious pastry and an oven pizza. We’ve found it all ;) Even some old corner restaurant with local Italians sitting by the wall and all facing tv. Looked like a stage scene for a movie!

Eight blocks full of discoveries. Lots of thrift stores to go into, some were a bit too tiny to walk in with a stroller so we kept on moving. Pastry by the windows looking so good! Mm~~

Few Japanese restaurants and in one of them you could leave your own chopsticks for next time you will be visiting ;) Pretty neat! I would come back for sure, plus I love the idea of minimizing a waste. Re-use re-use!!

Wind was lifting yellow leaves up to the sky and dancing.

Clouds were jealous and turned dark grey.

Meanwhile Mykolas found his first pizza! Best thin crust pizza!!!!

Finally - last stop to summarize a visit to Little Italy. A drink at the bar with daddy :)

Camping one more time .

In a daytime you prep fire wood for the night. You eat miso soup and you take gondola up to the top to enjoy blue mountains and feel a breeze of wind :)

And after all this is done you enjoy sunset by the water and after that you ask a friend with a guitar to play it by the fire :) pretty idyllic scenario that we had on Porteau Cove Provincial Park. It’s a great place to camp but only if you get a spot by the water. During summer time it’s quite hard to reserve spot there but worth the effort. I should mention that this campsite is close to railways and the train only pass campsite at midnight/early morning and it is suuuuuuper loud!

Other than that you can do quick stops to Sea to Sky or Whistler or Murrin Lake Trail ;)

Mini moments .

Who we are without love? We love families, we love our pets, partners, friends and we do love our hobbies. Love fulfills inner you and adds quality in your life :)

When my sister was around we did a short bike ride around sea wall and I was happy to show my favourite places in Vancouver and take some shots of her and her bf. Creating love memories :) ♥︎

Bike rides around sea wall .

A little bike tour around Stanley Park showing downtown, boats, trees, geese, Lion Gate bridge, ok I think you got the idea :) Actually it was really weird to go on this route, because as a local you pretty much avoid riding bike there because it is so busy and dangerous! We did stop on a third beach to play cards and enjoy sunset.
