The Island

Last weekend we made the trip over to Vancouver Island.  Matt's Woman's Basketball team made history by making it into provincials.  He wanted to be there to support them and we thought what a great excuse for a little family getaway!

Waiting for our ferry.

The ferry ride is a fun part of the entire "island" experience and God gave us two sunny filled ferry rides - which this time of year is a miracle!



We stayed at an AirBnB that was very comfy!

The boys at the game 

slow morning at our condo

Exploring Nanaimo - such fun to have no agenda and just be free to explore


we ended up at a coffee shop to warm up

after a quick warm up we went to check out the marina


we were able to meet up with Matt's Papa and Shan, who just arrived to spend 6 weeks on the island

on Saturday we went to see Papa and Shan's place on the island and went exploring on their beach


so many fun shells and crabs




we had dinner on Saturday night in a 100 year old firehall that has been converted into a restaurant - very fun for the boys!

what fun to get away for the weekend - just the 5 of us!  we love to be together, relaxing and exploring and all the sunshine was a beautiful added bonus!
