HOLIDAYS ON THE COAST



Jon, Sophie and I had so much fun over the Christmas holiday. We were gone for three weeks! (Jon flew home to work New Year's Eve) We spent most of our time in Vancouver at our cousins Maggie, Noah, Ethan and Kiera's house and got to see lots of Aunt Dory and Uncle Stu. (Thanks to you guys, again, for your gracious hospitality through our long-term stay.) We also spent a few days in Victoria, where Jon reconnected with his long-lost friend Jeff and we met his lovely wife Heather; and on Mayne Island, with Michael, Annette, Jasper and Grace.
We took in many sights and a few ferry rides. We went to Science World and Body Worlds Exhibit, the Vancouver Aquarium, the Victoria Bug Zoo, Miniature World; Sophie saw her first feature-lenth film at a movie theatre; we ate great food and stayed at the lovely Magnolia Hotel in Victoria; Jon got to know some of Vancouver Island's little-known wineries... we had a super holiday!
