    Yelp Goes Fingerpainting In The Beer Garden - Yelpers on the loose!

    Last night I discovered my new, favorite beer garden. You know it's a hidden gem when you have to…read moreuse your GPS to guide you through quiet neighborhood streets to find it. Not only is it tucked away from the noise of the busy street, but it's set in a lush Japanese garden with stone pogodas and a red, wooden bridge over a small pond of water. Add beer, fingerpainting and Yelpers to the mix, and you've got an ideal retreat to wind down after a hectic day. We sat on picnic benches and painted to our heart's content. Heidi, the owner of the mobile Fingerpainting company instructed us on how to make our masterpieces. Spritz your paper with water and spread it across the page. Add acrylic paints to your page by spraying, squirting, plopping, pressing and spreading from the small, bright containers provided. Some chose to spin their paper around to let the colors drip and form their own patterns. Others rolled up their sleeves and litterally got their hands dirty. Heidi gave us aprons and gloves so we wouldn't ruin our clothes. We could set our works of art onto a tablecloth on the ground to dry and then plop them onto a cardboad platform in order to transport them home without messing up our vehicles. Yelp Community Ambassador Jennifer J. did a fine job of organizing this creative endeavor. Thanks for the sausage and cheese appetizer and the free drink ticket. Oh, and the Yelp sunglasses were a hit too, especially since the sun didn't set until 8:30 PM. What a fantastic way to enjoy a summer evening in the Pacific Northwest. I didn't want to leave, so I stayed and ordered Pineapple Cider and a Mason Jar cheesecake from the outside bar (a converted CONEX container). I would love to come back with friends for a game night. There was a mini putt putt golf course and cornhole outside. The converted house provides shelter from the elements and would make a nice retreat during the winter months. Indoors, you'll find a foosball table, darts and several dozen board games. There's a pokestop here too. Not like you need another "lure" to convince you to come. Did I mention that this is my new favorite hideaway? Check it out, I'm certain it will make your list too.

    I have to admit, when my wife invited me to the Fingerpainting Yelp Event I was not too excited. I…read moredon't consider myself much of an artist, and didn't think this was going to be a lot of fun. However, I pride myself on the fact that my opinions are not cast in stone, and I ended up surprised at how much fun I had! Heidi, the owner of Fingerpainting for Grownups, was incredibly gracious and put me at ease immediately when she said it's impossible to mess up. I tried my best to prove her wrong, but ended up with a pair of unique creations that I was proud to bring home. Even if you're like me, and a bit skeptical of your artistic abilities, I would urge you to swing out and try a fingerpainting event with your friends. And for our event, the beautiful outdoor gardens at Hops 'n Headz were the perfect location for all the fun.

    One of the most visited attractions just outside of the city of Vancouver. I love this little…read moreadventure! The bridge itself stretches 450 ft over the river and stands 230 get above the river . So yeah pretty cool ! The park showcases the bridge well, you sway across gently with great views. Also there are a few other cool parts you must do. The cliff walk is neat. Attached to the granite cliff it's a narrow walk but not scary. Then the mini suspension bridges in the treetops was a fun part. High in the trees again with awesome views. You just kinda stand sometimes on the bridges and admire all that's around you. Also a few exhibits showcases the ecosystems. A great place 20 mins from the city for views. Nature and a little thrill seeking. Super safe and really nicely maintained. We went during fall and the had Halloween all around the park . Very extensive decor. Can't imagine it at Christmas! Highly recommended this place. Outside of city life but so worth it.

    A super fun park to explore, especially when they have their light exhibits!…read more Coming from a person who is terrified of heights and prefers to have stand on solid/still ground, the suspension bridge is a lot of fun. It is pretty terrifying the first time, but when you have to cross back over (and you've accepted the fact that there's no other way to get back) it's actually super fun. Also, if you get the chance to come here for the Valentine's lights it is stunning and you won't regret!

    One of three bridges that joins Vancouver with Richmond or Granville, this is a very tall one. I…read moreknow that because I initially walked down thinking that I'd take the ferry but there was a super long queue and I decided to just walk it. That was a mistake. TAKE THE FERRY even if it means a 20 minute wait. Though if I'd not taken the bridge, I'd have missed the amazing view of False Creek and English Bay. Despite being under major construction, there was a nice wide bicycle lane, a raised pedestrian walkway and enough room for automobiles, too. The bridge is a steel truss style, built between 1930 and 1932. It is marked with the coat of arms of Vancouver, "by sea and land we prosper". I think that's cool.

    I love this bridge!…read more I daily walk along the seawall from Cooper's Park toStanley Park (usually way beyond Prospect Point), and in Yaletown/Beach area, I always walk under three bridges: the Cambie, the Granville and the Burrard. And the Burrard is my favorite by far! It's like the grand dame of the three, for sure! The bridge is stately, of cream-colored concrete, and has a lot of Art Deco flourishes. There are galleries on high for viewing and various architectural embellishments. Underneath the bridge are potted plantings by local gardeners.. What I most enjoy is the view! As soon as I cross under the bridge, I am greeted by the most spectacular view of Kits' Jerico Beach across False Creek, Sunset Beach straight ahead, and water opening up to the ocean, with mountains serving as a majestic backdrop. It's just breathtaking. My goal is to walk the Burrard Bridge sometime in the next month. My family and I walked the Granville Bridge, and the views from on high were stunning. I'm sure those from the Burrard are, too!
