October 22 2010 - Day 294

Why so happy A? Yes! It's a road trip to Courtney/Comox to visit a friend AND go to Atlas... best food around, and the desserts? Well.... just LOOK! yummy!

August 28 2010 - Day 239

One of the ferries leaving Horseshoe Bay on our way home. It's such a pretty area.

July 25 2010 - Day 205

We went up to Coombs (CRAZY busy) and also Little Qualicum Falls today. The weather was great. I caught this great picture of Bruce and Matt after I said something funny about the way they had posed a second before, lol.... :)

April 8 2010 - Day 98

Ah, IKEA! Bruce had to work today so I spent the day at Ikea :) I didn't mind though lol. It was also VERY windy in the morning as you can see.

April 7 2010 - Day 97

I went to Vancouver with Bruce for a few days as he had a meeting. The weather was not very nice at all as you can see. This is the Alex Fraser Bridge.

April 4 2010 - Day 94

Matt and Adam on top of Mount Doug. We went to get some fresh air before having our big turkey dinner. The boys walked all the way there and up the mountain. The rest of us drove and just walked around the top. What a beautiful place it is!

March 09 2010 - Day 68

Thought I'd try something a little artistic today. This photo was taken through the window of our 21st story hotel room at the Pan Pacific in Vancouver. The weather wasn't so great out. I kind of like the result though.

March 06 2010 - Day 65

We went to the 'Digger' antique show in Chemanius early this morning. It was so gorgeous out that we decided to just keep on going for a drive and ended up down in Victoria at one of my favorite places, Capital Iron. The sky was so blue, and the cherry blossoms were out in abundance. We found a few treasures - an adorable mini park bench (there will be a later post with a picture I think) and a cute little galvanized wash tub :)

We also walked all the way down to Fort Street. I just wish I had worn more comfortable shoes.

March 03 2010 - Day 62

It was so nice out today that Bruce and I decided to take a road trip out to Coombs. Of course anyone who has been to Coombs knows that one of the best things about it is their bakery... mmmm so delicious. I love their breads. The other thing I like about Coombs is the funky old buildings. I love the moss on the A-frame roof of this one.

Feb 23 2010 - Day 54

Yehaw! Road TRIP! We decided to pop up to Comox to visit our good friend 'L', and also her good town restaurant ATLAS. It has THE most amazing food. 'N', 'A' and I hopped in the car. We were going to meet our friend at the restaurant. When we got there, oh the horror, it was CLOSED 'for a short winter holiday'. Well, you've never seen such a pathetic bunch of sad women :( We stood out in the rain, trying to decide what to do. We ended up going for lunch at another restaurant, and it was good, but it wasn't Atlas. I took this in the car on the way back. I think 'A' is showing what she would like to do to them for closing when we were so in the mood for that wonderful tasty delicious food.... hehehe gotcha 'A'!

Feb 19 2010 - Day 50

We went antiquing and also down to the market in Duncan today. On our way back the late afternoon sun was so gorgeous that hubby actually agreed to pull over at the Somenos Marsh. I was lucky enough to have just enough light left to get this photo of these two swans enjoying a swim just before the sun went over the mountain.

Feb 16 2010 - Day 47

Hubby and I went for a drive this afternoon as it was such a great day. The weather was beautiful. We decided to go to one of our favorite places, Coombs. On the way we stopped at Demex, which is a scrap metal, recycled building supply place. This was one of the fun and funky metal rusty gates that we saw. I don't think it gets better than this - FONTY and DISTRESSED! I LOVE IT! Wish I could have brought it home, but it's about 20 feet long and 5 feet high.
