BC Road Trip, Part 5 – Victoria

We’re almost done with the road trip posts! Just two more posts, I think. After driving down the Island from Nanaimo, we set up camp in my parents’ basement, while Kathleen and Brian and Maddy squashed into Kathleen’s old bedroom upstairs. It was a very fun and full house for the first few days, though […]

BC Road Trip, Part 2.5 – Langley Photo Supplement

So due to some technical difficulties, we didn’t have all the photos from Langley, but we have them now! Here are a few more shots of cousins playing in the pool, me exhaustedly cleaning the pool with the remote control robot, Michelle and I all purdied up for Kim’s wedding, and some shots of grandparents […]

BC Road Trip, Part 4 – Nanaimo

The day after our visit to the hospital, we hopped on the 8:30am ferry, and headed off to the Island. We spent our first night in Nanaimo at my grandpa’s house where Elodie met her great grandparents, great aunt and uncle and a second cousin. She also met her aunt and uncle, and her birthday […]

BC Road Trip, Part 3 – Vancouver (and Crescent Beach)

After Langley, we headed into Vancouver for two nights. Craig’s parents had offered us the use of their incredible False Creek condo while they were away traveling, and we simply couldn’t pass up the opportunity. We’d been able to squeeze in a visit with Susie and Hans at Granville Island earlier (pics also below), but […]

BC Roadtrip, Part 2 – Langley

After an early morning departure from Golden, breakfast at my favourite roadside eatery, and stops in Kamloops and Bridal Falls, we arrived at Michelle’s parents’ place in Langley! We spent a week in Langley initially, then returned for another three nights on our way back from the Island (the photos that follow are from both […]

BC Road Trip, Part 1 – Edmonton to Golden

At the end of June, we packed up the Mazda and headed off to BC for the last month of Michelle’s maternity leave. Our first stop was Golden, BC, to visit my Aunt Janne, Uncle Grant and cousins Megan and Ben. Our options from Edmonton to Golden were via Rocky Mountain House, which was slightly […]

A Visit from Grandma Armstrong

We had a great visit with Grandma Armstrong after she helped Kathleen get set up with Maddie in Winnipeg, and right before we left for our BC road trip. Belle was thrilled with Grandma’s nightly music performances, and we all had a great time walking, playing and shopping around Edmonton. We also caught a “Stars […]

A Visit From Pop-Pop

So I’m not sure how Isabelle decided that my dad would be “Pop-Pop,” but I love the nod to Arrested Development, so I’m happy that it seems to have stuck. Anyway, last month Pop-Pop came to visit, and we had a great time introducing him to Elodie, our house and our new neighbourhood. We squeezed […]

Craig and Katie Visit

I’m a bit late on the post, but we recently had a visit from Craig and Katie! Katie arrived first to attend a conference in town, and then a few days later we received a Craig as well. We took them, most importantly, to the playground a number of times, but we were also able […]
