So I got back from a week holiday in Beautiful British Columbia. I flew out with my sister Friday morning, with a 2.5 hour layover in Calgary. As I sat in the airport waiting, I had a great view of the Calgary skyline...gosh, I sure do love a good skyline. The flights there were pretty decent. I love WestJet and how they can crack jokes, rather than be all serious. To quote the flight attendant: "If you have any questions or concerns, please keep them to yourselves as we've had a long day and really don't care..." Also, I plan on never sharing a flight with too many children again: "I. Want. A. WINDOW....SEAT!!!!!" Wow...
I arrived on time to change and somewhat make myself presentable for my cousin's rehearsal dinner as we were originally out there for his wedding. His fiancé was there, oh yes, but I didn't even meet her until AFTER the wedding! Anyway, the wedding was fine. Very traditional, bride and groom looked gorgeous (of course). At the reception afterwards, there was a dance. Seriously, if I had ever wondered what it would be like to be at a Napoleon Dynamite dance, this just cleared all curiosity. The WORST dj's ever hahah. Most definitely stuck in the old age...and not just music style...appearance style. Desite! I did a mighty fine tribute to Michael Jackson, if I do say so myself.
After some time spent in Abbotsford (where the wedding, etc was), we headed up through Vancouver to Horseshoe Bay where we took a 40 minute ferry ride and then drove another hour up the coast to a cabin-y resort where we were in a bay that had high tide and low tide. If you're curious, click here...this is where we were-ish. It was a decent time. I spent my time in the hammock next to the hot tub (yep, a hot tub) on the lower porch (that's right, there were two porches) with a book over looking the bay. I went kayaking and caught a starfish (which I touched for the first time...was NOT an easy task that my cousin did trying to convince me to touch it) and I also caught a jellyfish. Interesting blobby creatures...

I could go on with a few stories, but who wants to read an essay during the summer? All in all, BC is a gorgeous place. Flying over mountains was incredible. However, when it comes to mountain driving...I'll stick to the prairies. I swear we went upside down sometimes...
