Me and My Promises (coffee contest continues — WINNERS announced)

Posted on 13 November 2008 by MommyKnows

Winner is: carolyn s —> email me @ kim (@) mommyknows (dot) com.

Nearly as popular as Disneyland, is the hotel pool. I promised the kids, that no matter what they’d swim everyday. I’ve found myself poolside the last few nights, in the dark, shivering; while Sam and Lizzy dive for quarters.

Nearly as popular as Disneyland ...Again taken with my iPhone—> I am taking ‘real’ photos but I am just too tired to upload/edit etc. With my iPhone I can just email them to flickr and they’re ready to blog.

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.
