Summer Trip - Destination: West Coast! Part 1

We were gone two wonderful weeks - we packed up the truck and trailer and headed out Friday afternoon! First stop was Golden for the night then on to Little Shuswap for 24hrs! There we celebrated a birthday, ate a delicious supper and had a really nice visit! (Plus enjoyed a little sun!) 
This is probably my all time favorite place to do yoga! The quiet lake, early in the morning, with the loons calling, and warm sun rising! Breath-taking and very zen!

Then Sunday afternoon we headed to Abbotsford to see G & G Tarves and Auntie Sandy, Uncle Owen and Kids! We stayed the night there and enjoyed a yummy breakfast and short but wonderful visit! 

Monday we caught the 12 pm ferry to Victoria! A beautiful clear day!

We camped at West Marine Bay - close to downtown and Aimee and Kalen's! The kids had fun playing in the (no-so-clean) water and feeding the friendly goose!

Aimee and Kalen's fancy digs! We were spoiled everytime we set foot in their apartment with fun toys and delicious food, etc.! 

Tuesday we strolled around to see some sites! The bug zoo and the marine museum are a must-see!

Notice the cute little yellow water taxi below - so fun to ride in! We took one over to eat fish n chips!

Tasty fish n chips with coleslaw! Also a seal feeding spot!

After lunch - a stroll around the harbour.

Tuesday for supper, Aimee and Kalen showed us this super cool pizza place with the neatest rustic interior, and exquisite pizza and gelato! 

After supper we went to a park and had a little run around!


Wednesday morning, after croissants and danishes for breakfast from the organic bakery below A & K's condo (Yummm!), Aimee took us to a pretty beach.

Then Duncan conv. for the next 4 days! Just love how conv.'s always seem to get better and better.. Was Moss' first conv. and he did awesome! Grandma had to do a little clean up after some fun in the wood chips and dirt! ;)

more beautiful photos... too many to comment on, but the ones of your three beautiful children are CUTE! Like that green chest with the matching striped mat!... That pizza looks nearly as good as the wood fire ones we had up in Cran Montana with Ju & Raph.
