Pictures and a Story!

So, last night we arrived at Osoyoos. Hubby's aunt and uncle have a condo here, it's absolutely gorgeous! The boys docked the brand new seadoos while I showered and got ready. We went for dinner - had some leftover wine, so they corked it and brought it back to the condo (something you can't do in our province). Hubby then started loading our video footage onto the computer... some of it was missing :( I was really upset. We're missing our arrival and drive to my aunt and uncle's and some really great footage of a forest we went for a walk in. Then, it starts halfway through being at the Capilano Suspension Bridge. I had a nice cry, I don't know if I'll ever forget that we're missing stuff. How depressing. I guess a person should really get to know the camcorder (we just bought it before we left) before they start filming important things. It's done, can't retrieve it, can't do anything now except make sure it doesn't happen again. Right now I'm just waiting for Hubby to wake up (this is very unusual, he's always up before me - which is why I thought I'd let him sleep today).

Here are some pics from our trip so far. I'll try and upload one of the videos later!

This is from our drive around Vancouver. We stopped at this lookout to enjoy the view of the Pacific Ocean. There was a sign (should have taken a pic) that said no parking between 11 PM and 6 AM. I wonder what they thought could possible happen at those hours... ?


This one is from a beach we stopped at. From here, you could see downtown Vancouver and Stanley Park across the water.


This is the Capilano Suspension Bridge. The part that was erased on tape somehow was the view of the bridge walking across. I don't believe we have any of the big bridge on video. Boo, Hoo :' (


This is still at Capilano. They have built walkways attached to the middle of the trees so you have some amazing views. This one has a stream in the background that is a habitat for Salmon.


We went on a hike up Teapot Hill. It was supposed to be a quick one, about half an hour, but with me carrying 25 extra pounds and having a cold, and yes, being a little out of shape, it took a little over an hour to get up. This stream I'm standing by was ice cold. I just had to put my hot and swollen feet in it on the way down.


This is the view from the top of Teapot Hill. We had made sandwiches, so we ate them up here and had a nice break - along with a beautiful view!
