Vancouver

....was for a training session for work. I enjoyed it found plenty to do in the town and it’s also very close to Portland OR which has some great shopping :)

My husband and I really tried to find something fun or interesting in Vancouver, but we sure didn’t find anything. It’s basically just a bland suburb of Portland from what I saw.

My parents lived in Vancouver when I was first born, so it’s always neat to go back and see it, even though I don’t remember any of it.

i was driving up to seattle from portland and stopped by a fred meyer by the freeway for a bathroom break. did some shopping, didn’t really get to see much of the city.

I lived in Orchards, I miss Vancouver it was really nice. I haven’t been back since I moved away.

Always a good time

I love Vancouver! I’ve only been there once, but I am definitely going back again sometime. The air is so clean and fresh. It’s a beautiful place. I’d also someday want to move there!!

Ok, I live here. Everything is GREEN! It rains alot. But it is a great place.

My husband will probably be attending a mgmt conference here in July, and I’ll go with him if I can. The conf is at the Heathman Lodge. He’ll be busy all day for a work week; evenings open after 4:30, probably.

What to do? What to see? A trip across the river to Powell’s is a given. But what advice is there for an Idaho small-towner whose city experience is minimal but who doesn’t want to sit around all day no matter how cool the lodge is? Arts, aquariums, places to look at the water? And how shall we use our evening time (we’re pretty old, quite conservative and we don’t drink…so think walks and architecture and nature and gardens over pubs and clubs)?

I live here.

Decent place, nothing real special. There’s a nice piece of history and a good selection of restaraunts downtown. The city is small, so things are low-priced, but it’s not exactly a hick town.

And if you get bored, Portland’s a short drive away.
