[The Intense Summer] VANCOUVER DAY 1

I have returned to Vancouver!!! 
(To read up on last year's trip(s), click here =))

Instead of taking an early morning flight this time, we opted for one that took place in the evening, hence why I'm typing this at 4:36 AM EST...Yikes.

But anyways, the rundown of the day went something like this:
- Wake up from a dream involving Jackson and Mark from GOT7 (> ω < !!!)
- Finish packing the remaining items for the trip
- Head to the airport a bit earlier to walk around and have dinner at Mill St. Brewery

Mill St. was essentially a kid-friendly pub-style restaurant serving up freshly toasted sandwiches, chicken wings, nachos, and, of course, beer to go along with the various television monitors around the interior of the restaurant showing the Columbia vs. Uruguay match.
< Shown below: Classic Wings, Pulled Pork Sandwich, Chicken Club >

After eating, we walked around a few of the shops before heading to the gate for boarding. Some of the new ones included MAC Cosmetics, Victoria's Secret, and Jo Malone fragrances.

Also spotted this adorable penguin and a TV set up at one of the waiting areas near our gate.

Also spotted some Oreo-topped caramel apples at Rocky Mountain Chocolate!

The flight this time was actually ten times more enjoyable than any other flight I've ever taken from East to West Coast: the cabin wasn't too dry this time, and time passed by fairly quickly after a short nap and two movies.

Can't wait for Northwest Fan Fest tomorrow!! Woohoo!
