Family Vacation Part One....

Family vacations are my favorite! We started off our venture driving to a city called Baker Oregon. We had dinner went to the hot tub and slept for a long drive the next day to Birch Bay in Washington! The first night we went for a walk on the beach and explored a little bit. The next day we went to the grocery store to figure out what we were going to eat all week the fish at all the restaurants didn’t sound good to Marchele, my mom and I. The gross guys Jason and Bryan were really excited about the fish! EWWW! Anyway we went for a walk on the beach that night as well and watched the sun set it was great! The colors on the water and everything was so cool! The next day we went to Canada! We went to white rock in hopes of finding sandy beaches but found rocks and seaweed! So we drove on about an hour to Vancouver, it is a really cool city with lots of shops and gelato’s! Yum! Other than the shops and things we went to an aquarium and saw a dolphin show and some belugas. We drove back to white rock toward the evening and swam in the ocean. Once you got about 200 feet away from the beach there was no more seaweed or rocks! We walked along the pier that night and watched the sunset once again we also got to see a sea lion swimming near the pier. Yesterday we went on a kayak tour. We went all the way around an island! It took three and a half hours and my arms are a little sore now! Parts of it the current was so strong and we had to paddle like mad! Marchele and I were in one together and we pretty much dominated out of everyone! The guide kept telling my mom, “You have strong daughters they are so fast at this!” yeah we rock! After that we came back to our beach and roasted hot dogs and s'mores! Today we went on a ferry to San Juan Islands; we got off the ferry at Friday harbor and looked around there as well as took a shuttle to Roche harbor and checked out the shops and all the cool boats! The shuttle took us to this rocky area with a light house and it was a whale watching place. Pretty cool! Later we went back to Friday harbor and I got a phone call that put a damper on the great day. One of my friends died this morning. It made me sad but I am just glad my family is here for me. We all went out to dinner for comfort food! And then took the ferry back to our place, which brings me to right now writing on my blog and updating everyone. Pictures Will come later..
