Vancouver Afternoon Tea - Fairmont Vancouver Airport Spring Afternoon Tea

Dear Vancity Girlfriends,

Springtime Afternoon Tea

Spring is here and I even though there was no special occasion, I asked my girlfriends if they wanted to go for afternoon like the Queen.  Ironically I had no idea that it was the same time as the Queen's 90th birthday.  So it was an ideal time to celebrate by enjoying the Fairmont Vancouver Airport Afternoon Tea.

There is a Groupon for Spring Afternoon Tea with Sparkling Wine at the Fairmont Vancouver Airport.  This was a 2 for 1 coupon for afternoon tea with 2 hours of free parking.  We couldn't resist the sparkling wine even though I didn't end up finishing it as I had an empty stomach and am not used to drinking on a Sunday afternoon.  My girlfriends luckily did not have any trouble enjoying the sparkling wine that came with our afternoon tea.  The Fairmont Vancouver Airport does not disappoint.  It has amazing views of the airplanes and is luxurious inside.  It is a step into a fairy tale and the service is quite amazing.  I was impressed.

Cherry Blossom Festival 2016 #AtoZChallenge

 Cherry Blossom Festival is every Spring.  It is a beautiful time of year when the cherry blossom trees are in bloom and in Vancouver, they celebrate fully with a variety of different events over the spring time.  

Even though some events were in March, there are still a lot of Cherry Blossom Festival events around Vancouver for April.  

These include Tree Talks and Walks at local parks where you can see the cherry blossoms and learn more about them.  

There is also The Sakura Days Japan Fair which features Japanese festival food, demonstrations, art, trees and talks, music and more.  A weekend of exploring Japanese culture on April 9th and 10th.

This year they have a new event called the Blossom Barge where they will sail a barge along the waterways.  And of course you can also enter the Haiku or Photography contests.  

I love the pink bloomed trees and how they brighten up the landscape.  It is a beautiful time of year and the Cherry Blossom Festival helps you celebrate that whether you enjoy taking photos (like me), writing poetry, enjoying nature, or participating in festivals.  There is a little something for everyone.  That's why C is for Cherry Blossoms.
