Vancouver in the summer!

Hot time, Summer in the City! Vancouver is at it's best right now!

The summer weather is finally here with temperatures from about 22 to 28 celcius and we finally have the summer vibe going on!

Last weekend (June 24-25) made me remember how much I love Vancouver and how great it can be. There was so much going on: Free Jazz Fest Concerts at Pigeon Park, Kits Days happening with sales and food kiosks on the street, and Greek Day on Broadway which I didn't attend but witnessed the sea of people in the closed off streets.

That weekend brought back a rush of nostalgic feelings for me. I remembered the excitement of getting out for summer vacation and how long the 2 months ahead seemed.

Who knew Vancouver could come alive like this? It's so easy to forget when the rains quiet the city, but with the comfortable temperatures and absolutely stunning scenery here, Vancouver is really the place to be in June!

Other must sees / dos for summer in Vancouver are:
- Going out to Wreck Beach for the day
- Creating a lantern and joining the Illuminares Lantern Festival
- Hitting Jericho Beach for windsurfing or beers at the Sailing Centre.
- Watching the Celebration of Light fireworks in English Bay, or from Kits Beach.

And many more things I can't remember right now but will come back to update!

Enjoy!
