Approaching the Canadian border. We flew to Seattle and drove up.

Tyrian indicates why he already loves Canada.

He can finally use the unit of measure he prefers!

Cute kitchen.

Making the best of the "sitting" room.

Dad made sure the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans.

There is a nice deck off the patio door in Tyrian's room.

We happened to move Tyrian into his apartment on Valentine's Day. To celebrate, we checked out the closest Thai restaurant, Tyrian's favorite food of choice.

It's so hard to let big brother go!
20200214.1837-IMG_9135-TAS_move_to_Canada
The next morning we took stock of what we needed to buy to outfit the apartment. Note the look on Tyrian's face, which says, "When is this lady gonna leave?!"

Enduring Mom's photos on public transportation.

Look, the train got us to VFS! A viable means of transportation? Check!

Enduring more of Mom's photos on public transport.
20200216.1447-IMG_9236-TAS_move_to_Canada
Oh look, it can be a fun experience, too!

Tyrian wanted to take advantage of the cycling culture in Vancouver so we had to test drive new bikes.

Introducing his latest baby.
20200216.1554-IMG_9010-TAS_move_to_Canada
Glad we rented a van!

Evya can't resist a good swordfighting pose with a cityscape behind her. Vancouver does have a thriving film industry...you never know who might be watching.
20200216.1619-IMG_9256-TAS_move_to_Canada
Time to say goodbye and head home.
20200216.1121-IMG_4766-TAS_move_to_Canada
Historical note: about 4 weeks after Tyrian moved, COVID-19 put Vancouver on lockdown and Tyrian's classes switched to remote learning. He opted to stay in Canada and ride out the pandemic...at least, that was the initial plan....
