Good Morning to you all. So last week was Megan and I’s 2 year anniversary – can you believe it’s been 2 years? So we had a week of fun. Our first port of call was last week, when we decided to take advantage of the glorious weather and head to Vancouver Island. So we got up early to catch the bus, then the train, then another bus, a ferry and then the final bus…. Wow that was a hell of a 5 hour trip! Especially because navigator extraordinaire Tidey t...

Good Morning all you lovely people. I know it’s been a month or so since we last blogged, so we thought it was time to say hello to everyone. So what have we been up to? Well Megan the little superstar finished up her job in Burnaby and is now working for Pixar Canada – I know I know I am very jealous too. She works in an office overlooking the ferry terminal and has a life sized Sully from Monsters Inc. looking at her all day. The walls in Pixar are all d...

Hi all. So we have been in Vancouver for a month now, and we still have so much to do.

So we were up at 5am to get to Whistler for free parking at 7.30am – lifts open at 8. We were very excited to get on the “biggest and best mountain” in Canada. Megan has become a very good consistent skier, especially after all the fun and games we had on her first blue run back in Wildcat 3 months ago! She actually had a lesson in Revelstoke which really shot her confidence and ability up. So we get up to the Sea to Sky Highway to see that instead of the g...

So we hired a car for the weekend and headed up the Sea to Sky Passage. This road links the north to the south and more importantly Vancouver to Whistler. We got one of the most gorgeous days, about 14 degrees sunshine for miles! The road is a great drive, bending around huge mountains and gorgeous ocean views. It reminded me a lot of the Lake District, even when we drove through a town called Ambleside! Our first stop was a waterfall called Shannon Falls just so...
