Comments 7 by Rebecca Bollwitt

7sharesThe latest in the Day Tripping series takes us south of the border and to no real destination as the journey is the trip. When most folks head across the border from Metro Vancouver they take the I-5 although I highly suggest that next time, if you have some time of your hands, you veer […]

13sharesStrolling through my WordPress categories the other day I came across “Beach Times” and reminisced about the summer of 2006 when John and I spent every weekend afternoon in the sand watching the waves roll in and enjoying each other’s company.

Day Tripping: Hell’s Gate

Day Tripping: Gibsons, Welcome Back

Comments 9 by Rebecca Bollwitt
