Long Weekend Off Part 2

We arrived at the condo at Birch Bay.   James supervised loading the cart.   He loved riding the cart up and down the elevator.  He did not want too much on the cart at any one time.  The more trips the better.


James showed us that throwing rocks was a good stress reliever.  We had to go out at least once a day to relieve stress.  Po Po collected and collected rocks.  She said this was the best rock collecting site ever!  Her many bags were very heavy with rocks.



The next day we went to Vancouver.  We went to explore Granville Island.  Po Po and Mommy wanted to explore stores but James liked exploring all the neat things that was his size.


We ate at a restaurant that Guy Fieri from 'Diners, Drive Ins and Dives' ate at.  Mommy had that on her must do list.  James liked the noodles and the food was very good.


Since the tide was way out that afternoon, we were going to walk the beach.


It was a beautiful evening to relax and watch the sunset.  See Daddy way back there walking on the little sand bar?  Too wet for us and it looked scary deep but Daddy said it way only a couple of inches deep.


It was such a beautiful evening that we almost forgot about the tide coming in so quickly.  James needed help getting off his big sand bar that was turning into an island.



The next day we went to Bellingham.  We checked out a book store.


The bookstore had comfortable places where one could read or have a little nap.


Fairhaven had some murals.


The statue with 'Dirty Dan',  the founder of Fairhaven was very popular with kids.


Places where one could stop and smell the flowers.


And a rocket ship!  Ron, Scott and Allison went to a brewery, no surprise and Velda took James for a walk to see the rocket and wall murals.  Velda found a  hand squeeze rocket ship at another store so  James was very happy.


And donuts!  We ate the maple bars.  Yummy!


James is waiting for the van to pick us up and head to our next destination.
