The Queen Elizabeth Park is a 52-hectare park, located 152 metres above sea level. It’s the highest point in Vancouver and makes for spectacular views of the park, city, and mountains on the North Shore. It is also home to the stunning Bloedel Conservatory. There is also a gorgeously landscaped quarry garden, the arboretum with its collection of exotic and native trees, sculptures including one by internationally renowned artist Henry Moore, and diverse recreational offerings such as tennis, lawn bowling and pitch & putt.

This is a wonderful place to visit any time of the year but Christmas, they put up over a million lights all over the gardens, it's magical, Christmas music plays throughout, every now and then by a pond, to music the lights go on and off, you can visit Santa, they have warming stations in the gardens, you can purchase hot spiced cider, hot chocolate, soups, etc...Admission includes a free carousel ride, lovely gift shop. So beautiful, it's like being a kid in a candy store. Well worth the visit. You can save a couple of dollars buying your tickets online and it avoids waiting in line.

From the highly manicured trees and shrubs to the koi, Nitobe Garden is a tranquil spot located within the bustling UBC campus. From every perspective it's a photographers dream. The manicured trees, rolling moss and hills, Japanese lanterns and water features fill the space in harmony and filtered light. Delightful on a rainy day and empty. Enjoy the trails and peak into the Tea House. Take a moment to respect the memorial garden to Dr Nitobe, a visionary and bridge across the Pacific. Simply delightful!

We planned for a day in Abbotsford and started here. We went for brunch and enjoyed a delicious brunch - sweet and salty and huevos rancheros. I had the sweet and salty and it was sweet and salty and delicious and my friends ordered the huevos rancheros which they found full of flavour and just the right size for brunch. The server was funny and attentive. We went early and had a great table close to the fireplace. We will be back,
