a day in Vancouver







We camped in north van virtually under the Lion`s Gate Bridge. As soon as we got there, the kids found some other kids the exact same age who happen to wrapping up their 1 year voyage with their family. They also came to Tofino with us so the kids can really play and get out of our hair. We did Chinatown lunch, Isabelle`s haircut (totallt hot), a walk through Stanley Park and back across the brige, then out to the fairy. Some good Canadian had the good sence to put on the Canucks game for everyone on the fairy, thanks dude! (Canucks sad loss) GOHABSGO!

Vancouver

Hey folks, Andrew here to give a quick update with much more to follow soon. We have been and gone through Vancouver and are now in Tofino. Many pics and commentary coming...

Rocky Mountains




The trip through the Rocky Mountain passes was very impressive being my first time passing through that part of the country. The old red truck handled the task with ease, as if there was ever a doubt. Some parts were a little sketchy with bad weather and Isabelle had a case of vertigo and I didn`t know if we were going up or down. For those of you who have passed there at night, you know of what I speak. Beautiful Lake Louise was frozen but the kids had a great time having snow ball fights and traumatizing tourists throwing air snowballs at them, in pyjamas, of course.

BANFF, STI!!




Here we are in Banff and we`re loving it. the kids are having a blast Isabelle is feeling great and even I`m happy! A much needed break from the road. The weather is nice, a little brisk though for may. Here we are regrouping and doing some good family activities. If I find a hundred bucks on the ground we`ll go up the gondola. This place is really nice and We`re hoping to see some elk in the park before we head out for Van on the 3rd. Q an A for all you Iphoners: how many moose in Canada?

At the hundredth meridian, where the great plains begin


It was a bit of a struggle crossing the prairies due to extreme weather. High winds and rain and cold temps for a few days made the trip difficult. The kids are amazing little travellers and Isabelle is good at keeping spirits high. Luckily, we just missed the great snow storm that hit Calgary, though we saw the snow drifts, pretty impressive. The autoroute around Winnipeg damaged a few things on the truck and I almost lost a rear tire that came loose and the trailer bearings are damaged (loose). We forgot about all those problems and treated ourselves to ribs, well, me and Anison anyway. Keep your stick on the ice!
