Tourist Day - Swimming, Vancouver Art Gallery and Sun Yat Sing Garden

This is the last weekend for the Vancouver Inspiration pass (2 weeks loan) so we went swimming, the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Dr. Sun Yat Sing garden.  We normally would not even consider going to the art gallery or this garden so we took a peek since it's all free. 

We spent only an hour at the art gallery, as the kids didn't really appreciate all the art.  An hour was enough.  At the Sun Yat Sing garden, we did the 1-hour tour which was interesting.  I had to keep giving the kids treats so that they'd cooperate but we managed.  Everything used to build that garden was imported from China and they used only the olden day techniques to build it (no nails or glue).  That was fascinating.  How did they do that?

We saved the best for last, the kids liked swimming the most.  When they went to bed, they asked when we could swim again.  If this hot weather continues, we'll have to go swimming every weekend!
