I'm home from Tofino now

Hi..I went away to Tofino with the four guys I support and a co-worker..we took the guys up for a weekend getaway to Tofino and stayed at a nice quaint hotel for the past two nights. It started to snow in Tofino (and the rest of the wet coast) yesterday morning so it was a possibility that we would be stuck there longer than planned. BUT we braved the conditions and drove the 5 or so hours back to Victoria.....It was crazy blizzardy out there...There's a lot of snow in some spots...the worst of it was probably between Port Alberni and Nanaimo although the whole island was hit and Vancouver was apparently hit even harder.

So they dropped me off in Colwood and I bussed out to our house..And guess what Ry was my bus driveer out to Sooke so I got to spend a half hour or so with him kinda sorta..... he's sleeping in town tonight cause it'll be too icy for him to drive out here when he's off and he just has to work again early tomorrow morning anyway, so he is camping out at sister Alison's house in town. My car is stranded in Brentwood Bay.

So all alone with no car in Sooke..well thats a lie I have my kids here with me (sorry Tessa, Ike and Meekah..how thoughtless that was of me).

Tofino was fun..Andrew and I got up early yesterday morning (before the snow) and it was a nice, clear and cold morning...we walked down to long beach and spent a good amount of time down there..Drew enjoyed filling his pockets with all sorts of shells and it was a blast watching him pick up gigantic peices of driftwood and running down to the ocean and chucking them into the water...He was definatly in his element! Probably one of his favorite things to do! I got some fantastic photos of him on the beach.

What else did we do? We ate a lot of very good food, watched a lot of T.v, wondered around Roy Henry Vickers Art Gallery(I love his paintings!!!), built a snowman, and enjoyed the sights and eachother's company.

So I'm happy to be home but I am sad to see that the snow has pretty much melted out here in Sookeland...I don't think we got very much snow at all here which is weird..we usually get more than in town. I was looking forward to taking Tessa for a walk in it. I won't complain though I'm just happy to have made it home. Its now my weekend. Yippee!!!!

Hope everybody had a good weekend and hope you are staying safe in those aweful driving conditions. By the way I heard it was like 17 and sunny in Toronto is this true???????????

Bye for now:)
