Jen Higgins - If you get a chance, Vancouver Island is simply beautiful,as is the ferry ride over there! Victoria is the capital of B.C. and a fun place too. http://www.hellobc.com/victoria.aspx

Also, in Vancouver, the Capilano Suspension Bridge is a must, if you’re not afraid of hights, that is! http://www.capbridge.com/

Have a fun trip!April 26, 2012 – 12:13 pm

brianne sheppard - yah! Stopping in my town of Kamloops! I’m from Vancouver originally though, you’ll find lots to do there! Science world, and the aquarium, and Capilano suspension bridge are all pretty cool to see, as well at Stanley Park and the Sea wall! If you have any questions, My sister is an early childhood educator in downtown Van and will know more than me! Have a great trip.. and let me know if your doing any photo shoots along the way!April 26, 2012 – 4:13 pm

Amanda - Sounds like SO much fun! We made this trek as a family when I was about 11. I remember there being a TON of go-kart tracks, randomly placee in what seemed like the middle of nowhere along our way.. and Dad stopped at EVERY one for us to go for a ride! .. as long as we spotted one, he would stop. I’m sure there were 3 or 4 along the way. That’s what I remember most about us being on the road during the drive to Vancouver. I’m sure you’ll find lots of things to do. And ya.. just “wingin it”, is sometimes the best way to go! Have fun!!April 27, 2012 – 10:32 am

Lucy - OMG!! so exciting. Me & Ty are doing our BC road trip this summer as well!

I would verrryyyy much recommend waiting a month and going in june/july!! There will be 10X more to do. Especially in the Okanagan. Shuswaps lake is absolutely amazing! Fruit picking with the kids, swimming in the perfect blue water. Natural hot springs.

ohhh. i can not wait!! our final destination is Tofino, going to catch some swell on the Pacific.

PS. Kelowna is wayyyy prettier than Kamloops, so if you have to choose between the two. Go kelowna! Go to muscle beach, sounds lame but i’ve heard its so beautiful.

So, to recap.
1) WAIT A MONTH!!!
2) Go To Shuswaps
3) Pick Fruit in Kelowna.
4) Talk to Locals!!! They will know the sweet spots ;)April 27, 2012 – 3:19 pm

Cate - Hells Gate on highway 1 just past Hope (away from Vancouver) is really pretty. There’s a suspension bridge and an aerial tram. Vancouver Island is always pretty, but I’m a little biased since I’ve lived here since I was a kid. :) And Banff is one of my favourite places in the world (along with Tofino and Saltspring Island). Enjoy! It’s a beautiful drive!April 29, 2012 – 11:45 am

Lucy - PS. If a truck stop attendant around Blue River, BC starts ranting to you about his hatred for ethnic truck drivers… don’t buy his beef jerky.

True Story.April 30, 2012 – 3:46 pm

rhonda - There is SO Much to see down south!!! Jasper and Banff are both lovely, Vancouver is great too!!! Frank’s slide is pretty cool – a whole town covered by an avalanche of rocks years ago. Lots of place to climb and hide (my boys love it). It’s in the Crowsnest Pass – not sure if you’ll go that way or not.April 30, 2012 – 8:25 pm

..so, I have this light….

OR.. actually, I have three of these lights. I thought I was being so smart.. I found these lights for what I thought was a steal on kijiji. Now, don’t get me wrong.. I still paid quite a bit for them, but not as much as new.. far from it. I saw them and immediately...

Oh yes.. it seems I have finally caught the instagram bug. hee! It took awhile, huh!? Up until recently, I only snapped the odd photo now and then, but I am happy to admit that I am now a complete addict. ha ha! I blame this photo a day challenge that I came across.. I think...

family time..

It seems our little family has a little hobby. It started with James and his RC (not the one pictured below.. he has a couple now). Then we bought Laine one when she was 5 or 6.. and now Harley got one for his birthday last week. ..and me, none as of yet, but that...
