MommyKnows is on the Road - Day 2

Posted on 22 July 2008 by MommyKnows

1 Bear (see photo below)
1 Bald Eagle (I’m too slow)

We arrived in Prince Rupert about 9 p.m., very anxious after 800km of driving to spend the night at the cool little inn that I booked. Unfortunately, the closest we got to our room was down the block. A natural gas leak meant that the road was closed off and the entire city block had been evacuated. That was about the time that Georgia peed her pants. I too wanted to pee my pants! Poor kids and poor parents who have to waste precious vacation time dismantling and laundering the carseat.

SO disappointed … but, what can you do? (Disappointed about the accommodations not the PEE).

We’re now squashed in a small room (with a harbour view) and I am praying our funky little inn is up and running tomorrow.

Prince Rupert is not the end point for our journey. Lace is the winner (of exactly what … I am not sure). We are on our way to the Queen Charlotte Islands. I can’t wait.

Well actually I can wait. Prince Rupert looks fantastic. The scenery is breath taking and it’s full of funky little shops, historic buildings. Tomorrow should be a fun day. NO CAR!

Here are some highlights from today’s trip.

MommyKnows is on the Road …

Posted on 21 July 2008 by MommyKnows

4 Moose
4 Bear
3 Deer

All spotted in the ditch by MK. The Nikon was in my suitcase, so I had to take photo’s with my little Fuji point and shoot. I didn’t take one decent photo. They’re all horrible, but here’s a nice BIG blurry moose for you anyway. I swear the Nikon will be in my lap all day tomorrow.

We’re in a dumpy motel in Prince George, B.C. I suppose the best part is the fact that I am in Prince George and it has nothing to do with tree planting. I believe that’s a first.

Anybody want a take a guess at our final destination? There might be a prize …
