Oh, Canada!

What a great vacation! If only it weren't so far away, we could totally see ourselves living in British Columbia. It was absolutely gorgeous.

Aside from the race, some other fun things Emily did:

1. Went to her first winery, the Red Rooster in Penticton:


2. Slept through a boat ride on Lake Okanagan:


3. Stayed awake for her first ferry ride, from Vancouver to Vancouver Island:



4. Slept through her first hike, up Mount Work outside of Victoria:



5. Slept through the whale-watching tour:



6. And, finally, stayed awake for her second hike, down to China Beach:



Sadly, the trip ended all too soon, but we were welcomed home tonight with a nice surprise, courtesy of Momma D:


Thanks to everyone for making it such a memorable trip. I know James is so grateful for all of the support, and of course we both like having a few extra hands to help with Emily!
