It’s generally known that saying goodbye is not a pleasant thing.
So today was a pretty emotional day. I had to say goodbye to my parents after we spend two weeks together. Of course everybody was a little sad, but we are already looking forward to seeing them again this summer!
I want to thank my mom and dad for everything they’ve done for us this holiday, and of course also Kris his parents for helping my parents getting here and for the Christmas gifts!!! Ow, and I can’t forget my brother, Marijke and Kris his sister, thanks guys, really!!

But we’re not going to stay emotional during this whole post (It was just something that needed to be said).
So back to normal now.
We didn’t really have a planning during the holidays, because everything was depending on the weather. So we decided on a day to day basis. A few things were of course booked in advance, for example the Boeing Tour.
It was really impressive, we couldn’t take any pictures during the tour but I can assure you, we saw some really neat things. On the Boeing flight line, we’ve seen airplanes in various stages of flight test and manufacture for airline customers around the world. We saw the assembly of the Boeing 747, 767 and last but definitely not least the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. This is the newest plane from Boeing and it has never flown before. The 787 planes we saw, were the first ones on the assembly line.
But we were able to take some picture in the flight center.
As part of the tour, we’ve visited the largest building in the world by volume (the second picture). To give you an idea of the size: Disney Land LA could fit in that building and even a part of their parking lot.
During the Holidays we’ve also visited Granville Island. It is attractive for tourists but still nice though. Rusty tin-sided factories are used as a Public Market, an art school, shops, restaurants, theatres, galleries, a hotel, and…
The view from Granville Island (on Vancouver) is amazing.

I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays, we sure did! Back to our normal lives now and looking forward to the next visit.
