Memorial Day Weekend and More


Just ahead of the holiday weekend, we were all together to say farewell to Jake and Elli as they headed off to Holden Village on Lake Chelan for the summer.  By Memorial Day Weekend, we were scatter across 2 states and 2 countries - Emily and Coleman were at Camp Sherman in Central Oregon; Grace was with her family in Eastern Oregon; Jake and Elli were in Central Washington; Drew was sailing the Swift Shore out of Victoria, BC; and Pat and I were on a home exchange in Vancouver BC. 


Our time in Vancouver included lots of hiking, both urban and otherwise. Click here for photos. We spent a day on Bowen Island, visited Squamish for a ride on the Sea-to-Sky Gondola, walked/biked around Stanley Park, kayaked in the harbour, and enjoyed the proximity of our home exchange to Granville Island. Drew joined us after finishing the Swift Shore race.

Summer has definitely arrived, and we're making the most of it.
