A trip to the coast

Vancouver Island on the West Coast is one of my favourite places on earth. We've just returned from taking my 90-year-old father-in-law on a trip to Vancouver Island to see family along the way. It wasn't exactly a relaxing vacation (we need a rest) but Dad Louis was delighted with all the "babying" as he put it... it was his special trip. 

Gratitude to brother-in-law Les for all his navigating so that I didn't have to deal with motion sickness!

Here are a few pictures from along the way...

The man who went 3300 km (at least)

Elevators in Creston, BC

Dad and his two sons at Lake Skaha in Penticton

A walk in Vancouver's Stanley Park

Seafood on Granville Island

A trip on the Sky Train (too noisy, Dad said)

A ferry ride to the Island

Four hours at Butchart Gardens for me!

A beautiful view from Pickles' Bluff near Saanichton

Our most expensive fill per litre

A gorgeous return crossing

Foggy Coquihalla (Lee drove the entire trip)

And a memorable meal of pie and icecream!

It's good to be home. Lots of garden catch up to do for the next while!
