Road trip to Vancouver Island August 2009
On August 1 we hopped into our van and embarked on our summer holiday: A road trip from Calgary to Vancouver Island and back. We stopped in the Okanagan valley both ways, enjoying some delicious orchard fruit and wine tasting. In Vancouver we visited a few familiar old sites, plus reconnected with my old friend Jan from jr. high school. From there we hopped a ferry north to the Sunshine Coast, staying with relatives Ray and Kit in their wonderful seaside home. Then it was up and over to Vancouver Island, with stops in Black Creek, Nanaimo and Tofino before heading home. About 3600km by the time we got home -- what a journey!
A few highlight pics are below, but many more are available for viewing here. Enjoy ~~ ^__^

Dear Vivian,
Love your vocation photo. Looks like the family had lots of fun. Our family picked fresh fruit through out the summer as well and the kids love it. Take care.
