Of course, the best part of visiting the west coast was seeing our families. We split the time pretty equally between the Lower Mainland (his family) and the Island (my family). Graham’s family is not so keen on taking photos, but my family does it compulsively so that explains the imbalance in representation here.
My niece made an unexpected last-minute trip down from Grand Forks with her two youngest kids, the youngest of which we met for the first time. Bridget also came up from the USA, so we had some real reunions. I’m really glad that we got the chance to spend time and share meals with folks. Already looking forward to the next trip!
