After saying good-bye to our family in Vancouver we sped eastwards into central BC. We made a 2-day stop in Kamloops to give big hugs to Kat and Bec; as well as two days of heated scrabble playing. Leaving Kamloops, we packed the suitcase and bags for one last time and headed home.

There was a lot of snow on the side of the Coquihalla highway at the summit, but it was springtime everywhere else in the province…until Revelstoke. We kept wondering when the snow was going to ‘start’. Scant patches were to be found merely 20 minutes from Revelstoke, but 2 ft. of snow and 6 ft. snowbanks still prevail in our small city. Emily is quite excited to be able to play in the snow, since we more or less skipped winter this year. She promptly made a snowman or woman Saturday afternoon.
