Road Trip

On Thursday night we were sitting on the couch watching TV after Ethan went to bed. Troy suddenly said, "Its supposed to be a nice weekend, let's go away." OK then - I have a soccer game on Sunday but we can go away Friday night. And it was so.

Friday morning I called around to find a place that takes dogs and babies that wasn't booked, and packed some things into the car. When Troy came home from work just after lunch we hit the road. Very exciting!

We cruised up island stopping only for coffee to make as many miles as we could during nap time. We had booked a place in Parksville because it seemed far enough to feel like we got away, but close enough to only be gone a couple of days. It was great. Ethan and I settled into the oceanfront room while Troy went to a store to buy a dog leash because we had forgotten Cooper's. I fed Ethan dinner and when Troy got back - we went for a trek down to the beach.
We walked and walked...
...and played......and explored...
...until it started to get dark. Then we headed back to put Ethan to sleep. We ate late dinner and watched TV from bed and relaxed.

When we got up the next morning, we went for a walk towards town. We stopped for some coffee and scones and wandered around.

We went to world famous Coombs - where the goats are on the grass roof. We farted around in the market and got some goodies for lunch.

When it was almost nap time, we headed back on the road towards home. It was a great get-a-way.
