Go Visit some Family
Seal
Bay
The original plan after getting on the 8:30
ferry and
lunch at the grandparents was to go up to Mt Washington and enjoy an
afternoon of cross country skiing. We drove up and it turns out
the rentals close at 3:15. It's sunny until 6pm (we usually go to
Cypress which has night skiing and is open to 10pm), but you have to
have your rented ski's in by 3:15. We were bummed out - beautiful
views, beautiful sun - no skiing.
Time for plan B. We decided to go visit Seal Bay. This is a
city park with a bit of a walk and some beach (although very
stoney). Apparently it is named because seals would haul out here
but given how many dogs use the area, I would be very surprised is
seals come to shore.
I was surprised though. When we got down
to the beach we saw
something moving on a rock in the water. Turns out it was a river
otter eating a ground fish!
We did a bit more walking around, but soon
enough it
was time to go.
Grandma's
Birthday
Jennifer and David were kind enough to host
dinner at
their house. We crammed their house and had a great dinner.
The next morning we went to the Kingfisher for
"Brunch". We have been to this resort before (both for food and
to stay over) and every year it seems to be just a bit bigger, a bit
more up scale and just a bit harder to get reservations.
More Photos and we were off again to
Vancouver.
