We went to Nanaimo

I don't know when this happened. But me and the kids went to visit my dad. He's in Nanaimo these days (for now) so we hopped on a ferry.




You can see it was an amazing day.










I just love this passage. One of these days, I'm going to do this trip in a smaller boat. Hop from island to island.



Ugh, I hate my face, but look at how cute my boy is. Gotta cherish the memories. Once we arrived, dad took us to his current place. I say that because even though this was our first visit to this home, he moved not long after to another place in Nanaimo. To be fair, this place was  a hole.


We went to Rathtrevor beach and saw a suite car for sale.


And then some of us relaxed by the beach while some of us went for a walk.











Looks like these are some of the last pictures from off my camera before my laptop died and I lost a whole year's worth of pictures.



From there, we went to Parksville to eat subway on the beach.









I always thought this was Nanaimo. Hah. I'm dumb.





There was a sandcastle competition on. I forced dad to let us go look at it.








It was really unbearably hot, but the sand sculptures were amazing.












From there we went to Nanaimo. It's kind of a 1960s town I think - with a run down look, but the waterfront (where we were) was cool. We stopped for dinner first.








I had capers for the first time. Always thought they were a sea food. Duh.





Then we walked along the beach.








This is me trying to get an idea of scale on these dahlias. They were the largest I've ever seen - well, until we went to the sunflower festival and saw bigger ones.















And then it was time for a spectacular sailing home.
