Walking at White Rock Pier
This beautiful little seaside city is definitely one of the gems of the lower mainland. Lined with cozy coffee shops, ice cream shops, and restaurants. It was such a breathtaking experience. The sun was shining which made our walk around the area a lot nicer. It was also very clean. Beautiful all year round!
Steveston Harbour Fisherman’s Wharf
A must place to visit. Scenery is fantastic. Bring your family and friends or just yourself for a sunset experience. Bring your camera, you will become one of the best photographers. Love the fish and chips and ice cream shop. Nice benches to sit. Great place for lunch or evening stroll with kids.
McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Vancouver Airport
This is a great mall conveniently located by the airport. Great use of cheap space. If you find a store you like the prices are excellent. Restaurants are decent as well. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff and clean. Would recommend this to everyone.
Visiting A 127 Year Old Castle – Craigdarroch Castle
The castle of the industrialist’s Robert Dunsmuir, a Scottish immigrant who made his fortune from Vancouver Island coal. Feels like we come back in time visiting this place.
Craigdarroch Castle was Constructed in 1890 – “Craigdarroch” means “rocky, oak place” in Gaelic.
Robert and Joan Dunsmuir had two sons, eight daughters and plenty of exploits. The Castle weaves a fascinating tale of this intriguing family – their achievements, their relationships and even their quirks.
Built by coal baron Robert Dunsmuir during the reign of Queen Victoria and now a National Historic Site, Craigdarroch Castle has been meticulously restored, giving visitors a glimpse of privileged life in the 1890s.
The immense fortune of the Dunsmuir family is reflected in the four floors of exquisite stained glass windows, intricate woodwork and fabulous Victorian-era furnishings.
