Recently, I visited my older sister in Seattle, Washington where she works for Amazon. This was my first time in the Pacific North West, and second time on the West Coast (I went to San Diego, CA 6 years ago.) My sister and I went to a variety of places during my visit, one being the Suspension Bridge Park in British Columbia. 

Capilano Suspension Bridge Park was made open to the public in the 1980s. To enter, you initially walk on a swinging, 250 foot bridge with a 450 foot drop over water. Then from here, its a tree top adventure! There are seven bridges suspended between the trees in a rain forest. There is also an option to go on a "Cliff Walk" where you essentially walk on a narrow path suspended from a narrow bridge wall. At the end of the walk we found a restaurant called the "Cliff House Restaurant." Visiting this restaurant, especially with the view is a must!

​

Overlooking Capilano Canyon, the Cliffhouse Restaurant has it's own executive chef who sources local, fresh ingredients. As the menu is local, it changes seasonally- more the reason to keep coming back! I ended up sharing a sangria,  fruit & cheese platter, bread & olive oil, fresh salad, and locally sourced salmon. They are proud members of the Ocean Wise Seafood Program- a Canadian program with over 700 partners that team up to make sustainable seafood purchases, ultimately ensuring long term health and stability of that species. Below are pictures from my visit.

​

Disney World is one of my favorite places. I fondly look back on my childhood in Disney, because it was my family's most popular vacation location. As if I didn't get to enjoy Disney enough, my older sister had a marketing internship there this past year. As a result... you could say... I visited Disney three times in one year! During this time, I tried many entrees. Below is a description of my favorite entree eaten at both a restaurant with a reservation and one that took "walk-ins". 
​

Artist Point had a rustic yet elegant feel as it's dining area overlooked Bay Lake. I ate here in March, and tried the "Eggplant Panisse" entree. 

This was a vegetarian entree. Although I am not vegetarian, I've noticed that my love for vegetables has led me to pick the vegetarian option quite often. The main vegetable was eggplant, a rich source of fiber.  It was served with coal fired carrots, lentils, great northern beans, parsley root, young arugula, and tomato. 

Splitzville was unique because it had a bowling alley located in the same building. My friends and I enjoyed dining in such a retro themed restaurant after shopping at Disney Springs. We listened to rock and roll music as we enjoyed our entrees. The entree I loved was the Super Tuna Sushi Roll. 

As a seafood lover, I was in heaven. From being topped with seared ahi, eel sauce, and tempura, it was filled with shrimp and tuna. It had a memorable flavor with spicy mayonnaise.
