Lisa and I went to the Sunshine Coast last week. It was a blast. We got to get away and relax. We spent two nights at Bonniebrook B&B and then we spent four nights at Porposie Bay Provincial Park. You can check out our photo album by clicking here.

We played lots of scrabble to train for Lisa’s mom’s visit. She kicks our bottoms most of the time. She knows all the trick words like qat, but I am trying to learn those types of words to know how to use my letters. I didn’t know there was strategy where you place your word and what letters to use. I was always proud of myself when I could just make a word up. My spelling is so bad that sometimes I am so excited and then learn that I misspelled the word. Or I get really excited about making up a creative word. I think one should get points for creativity also.

As you will see in one of the pictures I got all vowels on one of my draws. Then the play after that Lisa used all her little letters and I was just left in the dust after that move. I couldn’t catch up.

My favorite part of the trip was not captured in photos because we planed to come back to the spot, but then it got cold our last day and we did not return. We saw two friends from church, David and Ariana. They recommended we go to Catherine Lake. It was a beautiful little lake and the water was so warm that we felt so comfortable swimming. That is a rarity in BC because most of the time you need a wet suit to handle the chilly waters of BC. It was a great spot with a sandy beach and a platform in the middle to jump into the water or sunbathe. We had a blast on our trip.
