Some friends and I have decided to venture across the border and exchange one Vancouver for another over Memorial weekend.  It's going to be a fantastic weekend of girlfriends, shopping and site-seeting.  The last time I was in BC was about nine years ago.  (Kinda pathetic since it's only a six hour drive).
We've booked a suite at the Best Western Chateau Granville downtown where we'll be in walking distance of Chinatown and Gastown, and just a few minutes drive to Stanley Park.  I'm looking forward to checkout the Vancouver Museum because, well, I'm a museum nerd.  

  And, a friend of mine lives on the Sunshine Coast so I'm hoping we'll have time to get together for a bit.
Has anyone been to Vancouver, BC recently?  Got any suggestions of places to go or things not to be missed?  I need to get a certified copy of my birth certificate.  For the life of me I have no idea where the original is.  That and a valid piece of ID should be ok for getting back into the states.  I hope.
Oh, and I need to brush up on my Canadian speak.
