    I worked as a school librarian for a few years. We always had some fun with the signs and the displays. Librarians are a fun and witty bunch nowadays.

    Come back to Vancouver! You need to go to Nemesis (nominated for best new cafe in the WORLD by the Sprudgie’s) honestly, everything they do is amazing. Head there for an early/light brunch at 9 on a Sunday, walk around and window shop in Gastown the rest of the afternoon, catch the Steamclock on the hour, and hit up Meat & Bread or Tacofino for some refueling.

    You also need to eat everywhere that was on your list. But I’d say go to the Fish Counter instead of Go Fish. Walk your way up Main Street shopping at all the thrift/used clothing shops (Front & Co has got you), stop at 49th Parallel for coffee & donut refuel (they’re better than Cartem’s ;)),

    Speaking of donuts, you need to do a hike in North Vancouver at Quarry Rock (easy but a little busy) and you MUST have Honey’s donuts afterwards. YOU MUST Tracy. Maybe some avocado toast at Cafe Orso too, or a healthy buddha bowl or green juice at Bluhouse. If you love it so much you want to go back, reserve some kayaks ahead of time online, and head back for a kayak around the Cove.

    Have you guys been up the Sea to Sky gondola in Squamish yet? Do that. Maybe pack a charcuterie lunch (shopped for on Granville Island; pick up some croissants from Beaucoup while you’re there, it’s in walking distance from Granville Island) and take the gondola up (you can hike up but it will take 3-3.5 hours but it will save you $20/person), and pair it with the four way fruit ale from Howe Sound Brewery at the top of the mountain (that beer will taste DAMN good after a hike)

    Also, Earnest is good, but Rain or Shine Ice Cream has Taco Tuesday, and Umaluma (Chinatown) is KILLING the vegan ice cream game. While you’re in Chinatown, you must try Jukes Fried Chicken or Virtuous Pie (completely vegan pizza). There’s no amazing coffee shops in Chinatown, so spend Happy Hour there instead (try Juniper if you’re craving gin).

    Oh my goodness, there’s just so much. When you need a break from all the heavy restaurant food, head to either Kokomo (Chinatown) for plant-based dreams, or Chau Veggie.

    And if you do come, honestly, please do not hesitate to shoot me an email. I’d love to give you more suggestions on where to stay, what to do and of course, what to eat! (ashleyehildebrand@gmail.com)

    You should give embroidery a try. It’s wonderfully soothing and very portable. Perfect for those times waiting for kids and it keeps you off your phone. And don’t fret if you’re not very good at first. Just do it for fun!
