Our first trip together was to Vancouver. Chris surprised Grace with this trip after she finished Software Engineering bootcamp.

Chris brought Grace to Capistrano Suspension Bridge after he heard her say how much she would like to see it.

We then drove to Squamish for the day and decided to go up the Sea to Sky gondola where we were horribly unprepared for hiking in the snow and were sliding every which way.

Strolling around Stanley Park in Vancouver.

Our second adventure was to Costa Rica, where we embarked on a road trip in a slightly sketchy car to La Fortuna, Monteverde, and Manuel Antonio.

Our first and only fancy five-course meal—this is where we discovered that chicken pâté is something we could live without.

Our first of many Halloweens together.

Our first time snowshoeing, where Grace led Chris on a little detour (or maybe we accidentally got lost—but as Grace would say, that’s all part of the adventure!).

We embarked on a European adventure, starting in London.

Our next stop was Edinburgh.

On a stroll along the water after Scotch tasting.

Our next stop was Ireland, where we visited the Cliffs of Moher, toured the Guinness Factory, and Chris introduced Grace to his favorite pub, The Bleeding Horse.

Our next stop was Paris, where we visited Disneyland Paris, enjoyed the Moulin Rouge, and fell in love with éclairs from a bakery we will never be able to find again.

For our first Valentine's Day we visited the Eiffel Tower.

We attended the Calgary Stampede, the world's largest outdoor rodeo.

At the rodeo, Chris won a Yoshi for Grace for her birthday, likely spending more trying to win it than it would have cost to buy but 100% worth it.

On our trip to Alberta, we visited Canmore, Banff, and Lake Louise.
