I just realized that for many people Spring Break starts tomorrow afternoon, and for some people that is a frightening thought, for others a welcome break from early mornings, packing lunches, rushing kids off to school, hassling with homework, and schlepping them to or from extra-curricular activities. For us older folk, its a welcome break from our work or studies, time to catch a breather and perhaps do some fun stuff in slighter warmer weather.

You can spend a day at Science World and /or Imax, the Aquarium at Stanley Park, take a ride on the skytrain to New West Quay, go up Grouse Mountain or take the Seabus to Lonsdale Quay. A day trip to Bowen Island is always great - perhaps take your bikes for some exersize too.

Don’t forget Monday is St Patrick’s Day and you can check out the 5th Annual Parade on Granville Street Sunday, March 16 at 11 am.
