We left on the 5th for Rathtrevor Beach where we had reserved a walk-in campsite. Same place we went last year. We stayed overnight in Kamloops along the way at a very nice Travelodge hotel. Off for the Island again the next morning. It took all day. The girls loved riding the ferry. It was almost bedtime by the time we set up our beast of a tent.
On Thursday we drove to Tofino. The road was terrible and fun at the same time. Take the 'fun 14', make it much longer and more curvy and add a few more hills and valleys. Put trees right at the edge of the road and throw in a ton of potholes and rough patches for good measure. I actually got carsick! I haven't been carsick since I was about 8. Tofino was stunning. The most beautiful place I have ever been. Definitely worth another visit! We also stopped at long beach on our way back.
Darren joined us on Saturday morning. Dave ... I mean Reverend Naked Dave joined us on Sunday morning, Matt and Joy on Sunday evening. Lots of drinks and "snacks" to be had. Sorry Darren, I never did go skinny dipping. Call me chicken.
Darren left on Monday, Matt and Joy on Tuesday after a wild round of mini-golf. Wednesday provided us with our first rain-free day, and it was absolutely beautiful! Clint did his usual trench digging and castle building. It's fun to watch the tide come in around that.
Thursday (yesterday) we left the campground around 9:30 and headed straight home. We got here at 1:30 am.
And now ... Clint is driving Sarah to Vernon for a two-week stay with her grandparents.
