Vancouver is right across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon. We ended up here because we wanted to cross into Washington and also they have a Dairy Queen. But before we got to the Dairy Queen we stopped by Vancouver Central Park. You can't see that from the picture but that is what the sign to the right says.
Part of that park was the Fort Vancouver National Site. We spent like no time here but it was still pretty cool. There were some really nice grass fields and I guess they have had problems with people tearing it up because metal detectors and digging are prohibited.
There were various buildings and gazebos. That was pretty nice.
I really liked the cannons and cannon balls that they had on display in the park. They were heavy and the real size. There was a whole headstone looking thing that explained everything about the cannons.
After the park we went to Dairy Queen for lunch. Granted there were a lot of us but it took forever for us to get our order. But it was a cool, old-fashioned Dairy Queen where you walked up to the window to order and then sat on picnic benches outside.
When we were driving Vancouver my mom was really confused by this sign. So on the way out of Vancouver I took a picture of the "Save Drugs" sign. Everything all checked out though. It was a pharmacy where you could get discount drugs or something. We didn't actually go inside.
