Vancouver Island Trip

This is our first getaway since Caitlyn's arrival. Although it was only 4 days, it brought Caitlyn alot of eye opening experiences, her first time on a ferry, first time at the beach, first time at a wedding party. After the wedded couple's first dance, mommy and Caitlyn were on the dance floor, and that was also Caitlyn's first dance. Then came a fast song, and she started to rock her body. After we got back to the car heading back to our hotel, Caitlyn passed out, not that she was drunk, just that she had been awake for more than 5 hours without a nap. She was very well behaved throughout the night, I guess she did enjoy her time.

The next day, we spent half a day at Qualicum Beach. Driving from Parksville to Qualicum only took about 20 mins. It was a very small and quiet town, and I guess the residents there either stay home on Sundays or they're out to somewhere, so most of the shops were closed, we didn't get a chance to browse the gift shops for souvenirs. Then the best time of our day was spent at the Beach House Cafe. I got myself sole and chips and Ray had his yummy oyster burger, and Caitlyn got her cheerios :P

A weekend getaway is always nice, and I appreciate Ray for giving me a family vacation, a real family vacation this time!
