Tofino

We woke up to snow every morning.  The cabin was warm and cozy though.  If I was better with a camera, you would see how beautiful this was.  All silvers and blues.

There was always plenty to do.

David took to digging very deep holes in the beach.  Matthew enjoyed chasing the waves and feeling the sand disappear under his feet as the water receded.  Zuke stole balls from other dogs (we gave them back) and ran like mad after the birds.

Clive found cool stuff.  He also made some friends right away.

When these two finally crashed and Clive was out playing I read my book.  Heaven.  Quiet.  I might have had a glass or two of wine as well.

Zuke actually got tired.  It's a fairly large beach.

I have such fond memories of this place from my childhood.  I hope the whole family can vacation here again one day.  The drive home was a little scary.  The little snow we got meant BIG snow in the mountains.  After clenching the steering wheel and going about 30 km/hr for about two hours we made it to Port Alberni.  Phew!  All's well now!
