Victoria, British Columbia

Last weekend we decided to finally take a trip that we have talked about since we moved here to WA. We took the Victoria Clipper ferry to Victoria. We stayed at a nice hotel with an indoor swimming pool with water warm as a bath tub. Which was good being we were freezing the whole trip. We walked everywhere in the biting cold wind and rain.

I think all of our favorite part of Vistoria was the Craigdaroch castle (really it's a mansion) but it had a lot of history. Jenna really loves learning about history and seeing things from older time periods.

Looking up the staircases-all the walls and ceilings were carved wood. Amazing!
WE found this waffle place that made really fancy waffles-YUMMY!
We found out that we like Canadian's dish of Poutine- French fries covered with cheese curds and brown gravy-YUMMY! (I don't have a picture of that)
Jake's Purple Cow drink. Grape float.
Us on the ferry ride-even that was cold.

Crabs, Seattle and glass

Image
More of our summer adventures with my parents.  Here are our glass creations from our glass blowing.  We went crabbing on day and caught several crabs-only one was a keeper though. We were excited about cooking our first crab ever. It was yummy!  We also spent a day in Seattle at Pike's Place  Mom in line to get her favorite piroskys. We can't leave Pike's with out getting amazing flowers for so cheap-$15 for this giant bouquet.

Weekend Trip to Stehekin

Image
This past week we took a little trip to Stehekin, a small little community that is only reachable by boat. It is located off the north west side of Lake Chelan. The place has no cell phone service, no TV's, no computers! How would we ever survive? I was very hesitant about going but after George begging me I caved and decided to go. We went with Jake's best friends family. Amazingly we had a great time and did not miss our electronics at all. There is very limited transportation there, to get around we had to ride bikes that we rented there and we took a tour bus once to dinner.   Riding our bikes to Rainbow Falls and the bakery. It was a great ride, I only wanted to quit once.  Giant cinnamon rolls at the bakery  Stehekin's one room school house  Us with the Renschler's  Rainbow falls  Fishing  We rented to Polaris for a couple of hours, that I enjoyed driving around. People can arrive to Stehekin by Sea plane...
