On any trips to Vancouver a must see place to visit is Robson Street. There is great shopping, pubs, and people watching. During the Olympics you have to check out the great storefronts (complete with enough pizazz to make Simon Doonan smile). One one stroll down this street to pick up the iconic red mittens we crossed this impromptu sing-a-long to "Oh Canada."
Other notable things to do while visiting Robson Street during the Olympics:
1. Check out the live, CTV set
2. The nightly light and fireworks show
3. Skating and zipling
Ready. Set. Go!

Vancouver has been a wonderful host to the Olympic games. From the wonderful hospitality, fabulous scenery, and efficient organization I was blown away. But the icing on the cake for me was how much attention was paid to every last detail. Along the way to events there were unique vignettes that just added to the excitement and energy. And spoiler alert, for any of you "Glee" fans out there this might sound and feel familiar. This chorus was performing on the night we walked up for the Pairs Figure Skating Free Skate. Enjoy!

Hello BC!
I was one of the lucky winners of Tourism BC's Twitter contest. During my recent trip to Vancouver I soaked up as much Olympic magic as possible. One of my favorite things was hanging around all the various pavilions and "houses." Here is a fun clip from an impromptu sing-a-long outside of "Sochi House." Due to time and lines I wasn't able to snag a peak but the culture and energy outside of the building was infectious!
