February 19,2011

Well hope you guys can follow us once again.  We're having a great time visiting with Curt and company in Nanaimo.  He really lives in a beautiful house, in a nice neighborhood.  Not the type of place you would expect a bunch of life loving young bucks to live.  They have a wonderful place to live whilst learning about life and how far a dollar will actually stretch, or pennies for that matter. 
We took a short but beautiful walk along the docks last night where it seemed as though the moon was actually reachable.  It was absolutely huge and just glistened on the water.  While we were there we saw a beautiful heron and a bunch of ducks who were just waiting for food.  Too bad we didn't have any though.  We'll try again today, but not leave the house empty handed.
We hope to visit Chemainus today.  Curt's old stomping grounds of his Athlete's in Action days.  Chemainus has such beautiful murals, so it will be nice to see.  I don't remember if I actually took you there while we were here for Nik's wedding, but hope to show you some pictures regardless.  Chels, you weren't there then, but make sure Curt takes you there while you're visiting him here.
The one sad thing that always pulls at me when we go away, is that I wish we could all still do it as a whole family.  Maybe again one day we'll be able to do it all together.
Curt and your dad are going  for the famous "straight shave" just like they would have experienced years ago on the "Frontier" (if you know what-i'm-sayin"
Anyway, enjoy your day whatever it may hold, and I'll hope to re-post later with some pictures.
Love you.

  1. I'm sure Mark will be very jealous to hear they went for a straight shave! I remember Chemainus and it's beautiful murals and that Taco stand (or should I say Taco hole-in-the-wall) that Curt took us to. I remember that trip very often, Cathedral Grove, Chemainus, and a barn that was full of antiques and cool things (do you remember that place?)

    Hope you have a wonderful time! One day we will come with you!
