View from the place

This is the view from the front of our cabin at The Pacific Sands. Not a bad way to start the day. Of course, the day before was biblical rain - rain they way it can only rain on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. But, thankfully, it cleared up.

Soooo, that's a surfboard, huh?

This was the only time this kid (mine, so I can call her that - try chasing after a 16-month old EVERY time you get anywhere near the water, day in, day out) stood still. I think she was somewhat overwhelmed by what was in front of her. I bet you the next time we go up there she'll be surfing.

Test with the lovely Elise, on the ferry to Vancouver Island...

Shells at the Beach

Ok, so it's a bit overexposed, but otherwise pretty good. We ended up in this small cove which was just covered in shells.
