On Saturday afternoon, Theo and I headed out to the Sunshine Coast to visit his Aunt Marg and Uncle John. I was very excited to get out of Abbotsford for the weekend.
Theo's cousin Ben, his wife Tammy, and their baby Anna were also out for a visit this past weekend. It was nice to spend time with them and also nice to meet Anna. She is very cute.
On Sunday, John's septet was playing in the Gibson's Jazz Festival. It was nice to hear him play. Gibson is a very quaint town. Theo says he wants to move there, but I think the 2.5 hour commute to Abbotsford would kill him. Even if he did get a job in Vancouver it would still be a good 1.5 hour commute.
On Monday we took our bikes out for a ride up and down Redroofs Road. The hills in BC are killer...nothing like biking in Winnipeg. You definitely feel your quads burning on the hill climbs. Afterwards, we headed down to the beach to enjoy the wind, collect some sea glass and some rocks. We saw a garter snake on the beach (second one this summer) and geese swimming in the ocean. It's strange seeing geese in the ocean, it seems so out of context.
Monday evening we caught the last ferry to leave the coast at 8:20 pm. Theo had to work Tuesday afternoon and it was less stressful to leave the evening before, rather than in the morning. The traffic on the highways can be very unpredictable.
Our future plans include white water rafting on June 27th and camping for a few days in July.
