Vacation in BC and WA......

Both Jim and I had one week left of our 2007 vacation so we decided to do a road trip to Vancouver and points south into Washington where we hadn't been before, visiting a little along the way and celebrating our wedding anniversary. It was a gorgeous trip through the Rockies and Cascades with the colors so vibrant and beautiful. Of course, we love the mountains anyway and try to get out to them as often as we can. We had such good weather for the most part, a little rain which is to be expected at this time of the year especially closer to the Coast and a little snow in the Mountain Passes but the whole trip was a blessing and we are so thankful we could make the trip. I love travelling and Jim loves driving so as you can tell, we enjoyed every minute!

First stop after staying Thursday night in Golden, BC was Timmie's in Revelstoke.

Guess what we seen on the streets of Grinrod......yup, this little fellow!!! He made like he was going to charge us.....twice and then thought better of it when we stopped and took this picture.....from our car, I might add!!!!! When we first saw him on the street, he was chasing a magpie.....then boogied into the bushes when he seen us coming!! But I was so glad when he posed for us and he probably was thinking, "O those crazy tourists!!!!"

Near Grinrod and Enderby area.
