Mountains. Oceans. Boats. Trees. Sightseeing. Yummy food. Comfy hotel beds.
And family.
Perfect.
The only thing missing was a dependable internet connection.
We got home last night.
Today? Recovery.
Because no holiday is a success unless you have to come home to recover from it.

| Those cedars can twist themselves into the most impossible shapes. Case in point: two complete loops! |
One thing we found interesting was the leaping deer (okay, deer crossing) signs along our entire route:And it reminded me of something hilarious I heard...
Donna and the Deer Crossing
One final thing.
We saw several of these signs:
And you have to know we didn't see One. Single. Hovering. Goat.
Not one.
Even after two weeks in the car.
Looks like you had a fabulous time. Bet it was well worth it being unplugged from electronics and plugged into family fun time.
ReplyDeleteYou're totally right, Karen. Being unplugged and plugged in were perfect!
DeleteIt looks amazing. Rejuvenating. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI am very sad you didn't see a hovering goat though.
As am I!
DeleteSo glad that you had a wonderful vacation Diane! My sister has raved about time spent at Tofino, but we have yet to get there.Glad to know the only only deer you encountered were the roadsigns!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry your deer meeting wasn't as benign, Susan. But you should definitely get to Tofino!
