Friday was the main purpose for this trip - Alex’s graduation from Dalhousie Law School! We are so proud of her and very honoured to be invited to celebrate this incredible achievement with her and her family. We had an amazing day, one we will not soon forget!

At the end of May/beginning of June Justine and I had almost 2 weeks off and headed east to the Maritimes for our first big trip of the year. Alex was graduating from Dal Law School, and we were honoured to have been invited to attend her graduation ceremony. As I had never been to the Maritimes, and Jus had only ever visited PEI, it seemed like the perfect excuse to plan a larger trip around the big day. This is the first post of many to come that captures our grand adventure.

A final post - and likely a fairly long one… Mackenzie’s visit was coming to a close, but we had one last epic day in us! Justine and I both took Friday off, and we were doing the double shot of outdoor fun - Squamish and Whistler! We had a morning up the Sea to Sky Gondola, followed by an afternoon/evening in Whistler as a way to round out Mackenzie’s visit and enjoy the last of the sunshine.

We had a bit of an epic day, starting on Cypress Mountain, heading over to Lynn Canyon, lunch at Lonsdale Quay, out to Lighthouse Park and then wrapping it up by meeting Justine downtown for an epic sunset happy hour!

We’ll pick up the trip on Sunday on Galiano with some additional adventures. We finally found some sea lions and lots of birds, before heading back home to Vancouver. More adventures await later in the week.

For her 18th birthday (last July), we had offered to organize a trip for our niece Mackenzie to come to Vancouver for a week or so. We finally got the trip organized around Christmas time, and she decided she wanted to come out in February - much to our surprise. As it turned out, she picked a good week! We had snow just before she arrived and a high pressure system settled in that gave us cold temperatures and sunny skies.
