Bowen Island

May 10, 2003

This is one of my favorite island getaways in the entire northwest. It's a brief ferry ride out of Horseshoe Bay, less than an hour out of Vancouver on the road to Whistler.

I was happy to share it with Paul on his birthday.

 

Canadian Roadtrip

May 6, 2000

The day after Kylie's 6th birthday seemed like a good time to escape! I hadn't been to Canada for awhile so it seemed like a good idea. We had intended to maybe find a hike, but instead we bought a map and set out to get lost. We did find a prison center out in the middle of nowhere... it wasn't even on the map!

At least we got some good views of mountains and waterfalls along the way...

 

Sun Peaks

April 3-6, 2003

My first international ski vacation with my bestest long-time friend. We had tons of fun, harassed some cute Canadians, and came home without having made too much mischief.

The signs at the resort were hilarious and abundant.  :)

Next to that, the weather was splendid. We had three great days of skiing, an afternoon of snowshoeing, and one night of 6 inches of fresh snow.  :)  Doesn't get much better than this.

 

Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

March 2-6, 2000

This was a very much-needed get-away. It's been well over a year since I took off any real time (more than a week).

We stayed at the Birds of a Feather B&B. It was very nice and I would recommend it. It's located on a little lagoon and from up the hill a bit, you can see Victoria and the ocean.
