Vancouver Island!!!

Tim and I just got back from a relaxing week in Victoria, BC. Here's a snapshot of our vacation. This is Tim's Aunt Goldie, who was out in Washington visiting her relatives there.

The berries were late this year and Tim picked a bunch for a snack in our motel that evening.

A cute water taxi. We spent a lot of time sitting on the wharf watching people and boats.

And last, but not least, Mt. Ranier. Pictures absolutely do not do justice to its beauty.
