Trip to B.C., Part I

The kids and I spent the last two weeks traveling. We drove up to beautiful British Columbia to visit my family for a week and a half. It was a fast paced trip, but we all had a great time.

We arrived on a Monday evening and Thursday morning, Liam and I were on the ferry headed to Vancouver Island for an overnight stay with Nana.

It was really windy on deck, but Liam loved walking around.

We took Nana on a drive to Lake Cowichan.

The trip back was very long and boring. Not only did we have to wait forty-five minutes for a ferry that we didn't get on (we missed it by three cars!), but then we had to wait two and a half hours for the next one. It's a two hour trip across and another two hours back to Chilliwack. It was almost 10pm by the time we got back. It was a long day.

Liam was thrilled that we got to park on the "outside" on the ferry trip back. We could see our car (the black one with the roof-top box) from the deck and the bow windows.

On Saturday, Mum and I took the kids to Harrison Lake to play in the sand.
