Rob - I will have to take your word about Arizona traffic as I know you are from Seattle.

The kids and I woke up early in Ferndale, Washington and got through the border pretty quick. We had a fun day in Vancouver at the aquarium and a petting farm in North Vancouver. We even had lunch in Chinatown which we walked around a bit. Richmond is where we are staying and it feels like being in China. As we drove by the airport, my son pointed out the Olympic rings that most competitors will see after leaving the airport. And I saw the big speed skating areana here in Richmond. The highlight for the kids is the big 225 foot water slide at our hotel that winds outside the building before coming back into the indoor pool. We are hitting the science center tomorrow after some excellent morning dim sum.
