End of another year...

Another year is ending - here are a few more highlights: We spent time on Vancouver Island with friends:

There was a beautiful and fun family wedding, and the wedding party had a best man, and a best dog:

A Road Trip

Luckily it was dry and sunny for a road trip to Kamloops then over to Nelson.  

A small ferry goes from Needles across Arrow Lake

First stop in Nakusp was this chocolate shop

Metal flowers in Nelson

The hanging baskets on the main street were beautiful

Nelson has many fine old buildings

First getaway of the year

Finally, a chance to get away and visit family.  We were lucky with the weather, though it was windy near the water.  We're looking forward to more short trips in the months ahead.
