Canada Roadtrip

It is raining pretty good right now. What a way to start Labor Day weekend. It is supposed to rain all day today and tomorrow. So, I am gonna use this opportunity to try and catch everyone up with what we did this summer.

I will start with our most recent roadtrip, which took us up through the Olympic Peninsula where we stayed at a great resort on the Hood Canal. Priya got us up nice and early so we wouldn't miss the view in the calm morning:


From Port Angeles, WA we barely made the ferry to Victoria, BC where my Aunt and Uncle live. We were lucky that my cousin and her family were visiting at the same time. Ben tried to show me up in ladder golf and remote control cars:


Priya had a blast riding the plasma car with Mary and Ben:



We took Priya down to Victoria Harbour and she had a great time checking out the beautiful buildings and huge yachts. Aunt Marg had a wonderful dinner for us that evening:



Uncle Rodger was encouraging Priya to keep walking. After a short stay, we caught another ferry early in the morning back to the mainland for a drive to Whistler. I still love the ferry rides in the Pacific NW. The scenery never gets old:



Whistler was in full Olympics mode. The winter games are only 6 months away. Priya got to know the mascots. The big one on the right is our favorite - Quatchi. She got a much smaller size one to take home. Her first stuffed animal souvenir! She also got a beautiful Build-a-Bear rabbit and stroller from Aunt Marg and Uncle Rodger.


In Whistler, Ami and I went ziplining! It was a blast. They have the longest zipline in N. America. I don't know if Ami was more excited about the zipline itself or the fact that the "Bachelorette" went on the same zipline last year?


That is Ami ziplining upside down! We had a great trip. It was fun relaxing with family in Victoria. Hopefully we can get up there again soon.
