Weekend Away!

Our beach walk view. We went all the way out to the tip of the land you can see at the end.


R and I got away this weekend, took of up the Sunshine Coast to Gibsons for some serious r+r and quiet away from the big city. It was divine! Just what we needed. We splurged and stayed at a B&B, instead of our usual hostel, and lucked into a lovely place run by two wonderful people- check it out here. Kathi was delightful and took such good care of us- we joked that we'd love to be adopted by them, our new West coast parents! It made us think about having our own B&B one day, maybe once our non-existent kids grow up. This picture is of a famous place in Canadian television, home of The Beachcombers, the longest running tv show in our history! (I think!)
We walked and talked and just enjoyed being together somewhere new. Nothing too fussy, nothing too busy, just easy. Wine on the deck watching the light filter through the trees, cuddling up in bed for hours in the morning and watching the rain outside, a big walk along a rocky beach in the beautiful sunshine. (Yes, we had both!)


A Big tree outside our room- I loved the colour of the bark.

We were ready to come home, but could've stayed for a lot longer too! We have decided that our next holiday weekend will be spent somewhere away from the water, we're starting to get too used to it! We're thinking the wine country in the Okanawgan or maybe somewhere in the mountains of the interior...who knows! So much to choose from! Too bad we have to work at all!!
