Friday Harbour

First, I gotta say, I'm all over this little pub at Cultus Lake. I first came up here with Rebecca and John on the weekend, but it not only has one of the nicest patios I've been on in a while, but a pretty decent selection of food and drinks as well. I'm fairly certain they're all gonna know me by name here pretty soon. This weekend I'm meeting my friend Lynn down in Anacortes, WA, and we're going to take the little ferry over to Friday Harbor for the day. I actually was there a ...

Heading South

Being that this weekend is the May long weekend, and unofficially (at least in British Columbia circles) the start of summer, I thought I might get in the car and take a little road trip. My sister and the kids are camping near Deception Pass in Washington, State, and I'm seriously considering hopping in the car later tonight and making the trek down to hang out with them. It's supposed to be 30C, which is rather nice weather to be sitting outside. I have to see what the state of my camping gear is in the back of ...
