Canada, Eh?

We took a family vacation (and by family I do mean everyone... Maga, Tutu, Breeze, Mr and Mrs B, J.T. and Hea Bug) to Canada. My Aunt and Uncle have a wonderful Bed and Breakfast called A Rovers Rest in Blind Bay, BC. We left on Hea Bug's first and J.T.'s second plane ride ever from LAX at 8pm to arrive in Vancouver at midnight.

We rented a van and drove 5 hours toward the interior of British Columbia to the B&B which is right on beautiful Shuswap Lake. The charming property is amazingly beautiful and welcoming. Encompassed by the circular driveway are the apple and cherry trees, benches in the shade and a bed frame flower bed with lady bug lights that glow at night.

We adventured all over every day. Tummies filled with delicious breakfasts every morning we set off for suspension bridges, hot pools, gouda farms, petting "zoos", Margaret Falls, road side fruit stands, a lavender farm for high tea, and so much more.





Mr. B, the kids and I were in the "From the Brush Suite" which had it's own entrance separate from the house. Breeze was in the "To the Pointe Suite" and Maga and Tutu had the "Heart of the Home" suite which featured the giant red heart jacuzzi tub that none but the littlest B's enjoyed.



We spent quality time with my grandparents and Gr. Grandma Wahl enjoyed sewing "I Heart Canada" clothes with Maga for the grandkids to wear to the Canada Day Festival. We decked ourselves out and showed our Canadian Pride for the July 1st Celebration and enjoyed dancing hula to Tutu singing classic Hawaiian songs on stage and watching the AWESOME fireworks show.

We felt so warmly welcomed it was hard to leave but we knew we had to be back in America to celebrate the 4th of July so we hugged and squeezed our loved ones and made the night time drive back to Vancouver to catch our 6am flight.
It was definitely a challenge managing 7 international travelers but the time we had was unforgettable. Our Summer has been filled with crazy fun and crazy love so far.
