Beautiful BC
The vacation is over now, it's the end of August, but I thought I would take
a few minutes to reminisce about the land of the mountains falling into the
ocean...
The second leg of our vacation was more relaxed than the first. Everyone was exhausted and so we took it easy. That's how family vacations go. We visited (obviously) Vancouver, Victoria, Butchart Gardens, Whistler, Squamish, the Science Place, and everything along the way. We also visited many of the upcoming Olympic sites. Throw a wedding in there, and all of the time flies right by. I found myself not in a mood to take too many photos, but I got some fantastic ones of plants.
One of the highlights of the trip was probably driving the Rav4 down the very twisty and very steep highway 5 between Merritt and Hope. Wow.
WestJet was its usual chipper self. On the flight home, the entire safety demonstration was recited as a poem.
