Baniener Days: Victoria, Tofino, Sushi, Paddle Boarding, Gastown, and MORE SUSHI!

We took the ferry over to Victoria. Here is a famous alley in China Town. Jonathon was able to show us around because he used to live here. 

 Free Willy! 
 This is a pub that we didn't drink in... but Jon used to drink here when he lived here. You get monkey nuts and can throw them on the ground. 
 Annina in front of the Parliament buildings. 
 Annina and I had a Dairy Queen blizzard - she got the biggest small I have ever seen. She wasn't able to eat it all. We watched a crazy teenage girl across the street at the bus stop while we ate. 
 Long Beach - we really lucked out with the weather. It was so nice and sunny. Richard met us for a surf. It was good to see him. 









 I got one good shot of Annina! 
 Don't forget... this is the size of the wetsuit you were wearing Annina.. just in case you want to order one on the internet for the standing wave ;-) 

 Annina and I ate at Shelter in Tofino. It was super fancy and $$. Everything in Tofino seemed $$. Jonny was sick back at the hotel. He couldn't swallow. Juice for Jonny! Salmon surf bowl for Annina! 
 Look - there is my chill spot in the background. 


 There she goes! 



 Toes in the water. 



 Richard told us about this Taco Truck. It was delicious but a little $$. $10 burrito from a truck. I guess nothing is cheap in Tofino. It must suck to live there! 
 We stopped to look at some big trees. 

 This is the largest one. 
 Ferry sunset. 
 Back in Vancouver for more sushi! 

 We ran in the morning and then we went paddle boarding. It was an awesome last day in the sun. 

 The pregnant lady is up! 

























Wow!! Headstand on the board!! Bali Victor would be proud.  






 They opened the slide! 


 We had Mexican on our last night. We were going to walk down to the Vietnamese spot but we were pooped from all the sun and playing in the water. 
 This is the last morning - at Starbucks in Gastown. 

 I was trying to get a picture of the cruise ship and mountains behind Annina - but you can't see them. 

 The steam clock shot! 
 Surfing the Olympic torch. 


 Hugging Willy. 


 Sea plane. 






 All you can eat sushi on the roof. 


We were so full after all of this sushi!! I think Annina will be full of sushi for a long time now - Jonny and I too! I wish I could send you sushi in the mail Annina. What a great two weeks - they went so fast though. Thanks for coming to visit us and I hope we get to see you next year in Bali :-)

Vegas Annibirthversry Days: May 16 - 20, 2013 - The Boy's First Flight

My birthday started on Wednesday when we were still in Vancouver. Jonny, Christian, and I went for a walk and chill. Jonathon got his hairs trimmed up and we sat at a couple of different city spots and enjoyed the different flavours and views. Somewhere along our travels we lost Sophie the giraffe and wish her well in her new life. I envision her with a cute little puppy squeaking happily. Christian's new favourite things to put in his mouth are water bottles.... and... Gatorade bottles...  At one of our chill spots Jonny gave me my birthday presents... I scored! I also won ten bucks on crossword scratch and wins. It was a great day that started with swimming and ended with beers with G in Gastown. None of it was planned it just was one of those nice sunny I am leaving for Vegas on my birthday tomorrow days.  The next morning came too soon. A hang over is never fun and it is even less fun with a baby that wakes up and is ready to go and is smiling at you an...

California Toddler Tripping: Vancouver - Langley - Seattle - Seaside

We knew that road tripping with a toddler wasn't going to be always pleasant - but we also knew that it would be way better than being on a plane - at least with our toddler. Christian is one and a half on this trip and just like last year he went through some new changes just to mess with us. Luckily, we are a powerful team and we were able to overcome these challenges … so far!  Our journey started in Vancouver. We stopped at the skate park to drop off used shoes and decks. Some kid is going to be happy. (or bum?)  Next stop: Langley! We had a visit with Grandma and Grandpa. I love this picture :-)  Christian likes Grandpa's cars - watch out!  Next stop: Seattle!  Light rail to the Crab Pot.  The Crab Pot - we made it and we ATE it!  Christian is scoring with the toys on this trip. Now I really understand why I got new toys when my parents took us on road trips!  Sunset Seattle squirm time. ...
