Our son David and his other half Nadine arrived a week ago from the UK the second time we've enjoyed having them visit this year they came to stay for a week when we were house sitting in New York. We love having all the children visit they're such adventurers planning their vacations so they get the maximum out of the short time they have after all what's the point of flying across the pond for 10 hours only to arrive and not have a plan. Anyway since D&N landed they've wrapped their expert taste buds around enough craft beers to know what's good, Granville Island Market shopped, Grouse Mountain Zip Lined, BBQ'd a family gathering, driven to Kelowna in the Okanagan to meet up with Nadine's family, then through to Banff Alberta where they are right now and by all accounts blazing their own unique adventure trail........
I quote from Face Book postings:
"Sentinal Pass - done. An incredible view of the Ten Peaks from 2611m"
"18.5Km hike today from Lake Louise (at 1730m height) to the Plain of Six Glaciers at 2195m for an incredible view of the Victoria glacier, and then up to the Big Beehive at 2270m for the most amazing view of Lake Louise!!
They're back "home" tomorrow we'll have a family weekend before they leave for Vancouver Island and a spot on Whale Watching from Telegraph Cove on Monday.
On this occasion they visit us at home but one of the excellent aspects of house sitting assignments is that with the home owners permission the children, family and friends visit us wherever we are, a win win for everyone because family really does matter!!
