Westward Ho


The first few days of our trip, we drove hard, every day. It was fun watching the scenery changing as we went west.


After arriving in the Abbotsford area, we got all set up then the following day we went to meet up with Meaghan and Adam.


 Adam took us to the Navy Base for a tour of his ship. He took us all around the ship (we knew Gryper was gonna be ticked off that he missed this!) explaining things as he went. He knows the ship “stem to stern”.





The following day, Meg & Adam came up to where we were staying and we went to Fort Langley, which is where British Columbia was “born”. Gryper can't just sit back, he's a participation kinda guy, helping to demonstrate how the furs were transported from all over Canada to the posts for exporting.








Afterwards we went into the town and cooled off (it was about 30C), then went back to the trailer for supper.



We had a great couple of days. Today we're off to Stanley Park and other touristy places.

Glad Froggie is having a good time.

Did he go to watch Gryper demonstrate the history of the fur trade? Looks good on Dad.

Megan is all grown up now.

Glad to see Froggie is on the trip as well. Next thing you know he will be writing a book.
He certainly loves to travel and meet people.
Enjoy your day!
