September 9-13 Vancouver

Our daughter, Emily, and son-in-law, Stuart, live in White Rock, a beautiful community that is part of the Vancouver metro. Their house is a few short blocks from the shore of Semiahmoo Bay and the Strait of Georgia. The homes in White Rock are on a steep hillside overlooking the sea. From the kitchen, dining room, living room, and deck of their home, you have a nearly 180-degree view of the sea and of some of the coastal area of Washington State.

Emily and Stuart prepare a wonderful dinner and serve it on the deck at sunset.

Emily gave us a tour of Vancouver Island, including lunch in Sidney and dinner in Victoria. It is a special treat to visit the Hinson family’s good friends, Anne and Graham Walker, at their lake home in Saanich.

  1. It must have been a wonderful trip. The beauty around Vancouver and including Victoria is hard to beat, no matter where you travel.

    You will also have a visual in your mind of Emily’s home that you can carry with you every day.

    Have fun and be safe coming home.
