Vancouver Island Road Trip.

Sidney and her friends have been planning a road trip to Vancouver Island for months.  They met Tessa last year at camp in Hawaii, and she lives on Vancouver Island.  The plan was that Claire and Sidney would drive up there and spend a week and watch Tessa graduate from high school.  Parker and Tessa would meet up with them and they would all travel home together. 

Sidney and Claire decided to take a little detour to North Idaho to visit my sister.  She took them on a hike around Tubbs Hill.



They met up with the rest of the family for dinner and had a great time catching up with everyone.  Jason kept calling Claire 'Gretchen' and apparently it stuck.  That 'Gretchen' sure is a nice girl.

The next day they drove across the border to Vancouver and had a couple hours to kill before they had to board the car ferry to the island.  I guess it was the same day that Canada was competing in the World Cup and the city was abuzz.  Sidney said everyone was out on the streets dressed in red and white.

They had a wonderful week venturing around the island.




Sidney caught a purple starfish.

She fell in love with Tim Hortons.  Honestly, I think this is analogous to In-n-Out.  Is it really that good or is it just a cult classic?

I am happy to report they all made it back safe and sound and had an amazing time!
