5 days in May

After many a late night moving all of our belongings into Bumpa's garage we were really looking forward to our trip to Tofino. On the way we stopped in Nanaimo just long enough to find another house (a great one this time!), but the rest was spent just enjoying a much needed holiday as a family.

Grant & Drew went whale watching, we visited Cathedral Grove & spent lots of time on the beach & in the hot tub. We also got to experience a "live" crab dinner thanks to Kevin, the owner of the home we stayed in. There were no close encounters with bears this time, but we did see three from the safety of our truck. There are almost 400 photos of our trip - here are just a few...

Not too bad...for an amateur

Drew was a "little bit creeped out" at first - but he sure liked to eat him afterwards!
