Last weekend my friend, Amanda, and I decided that we wanted to get into the Christmas spirit and decided to do a ‘lame’ bus tour. We bought the bus tour on groupon last month and we were about to get it for 50% (that’s my kind of deal)! We bundled up with our holiday drinks from Starbucks and boarded the bus full of children, and seniors – we were definitely the only 20-somethings on the bus… haha. The bus driver drove us around downtown to show us a few impressive Christmas light displays and then we headed to VanDusen Botanical Gardens. Wow. That is really the only word to summarize what VanDusen looked like. It was such a spectacular light show, and not at all what I was expecting. I went into it not expecting much more than a few strands of light strung from the trees in the garden, but was pleasantly surprised when we arrive and discovered that the garden was transformed into a Christmas wonderland! There aren’t a lot of ways to explain what we saw, so I thought it would be best to show you…
Ironically enough, this picture of Amanda was the last one that I took at VanDusen. It’s my favourite though – so I thought it deserved to be at the beginning of this post.
