BC Weekend

beautiful trees along the way

We went on a road trip to British Columbia over the weekend. It was supposed to be a 5 hour drive but we stopped several times to check out some places and pose for some pictures. We reached Fairmont Hot Springs a little after 3pm, about 7 hours or so of traveling.

First on the agenda after checking in was to eat a very late lunch. We unpacked all our 'baon' and we ate to the point of discomfort. After that very heavy meal and having rested for awhile, it was time to go to the hot springs for a very relaxing dip. We stayed there for 2 hours before heading back to the cottage to prepare for our grilled food feast.

Once again, we were filled to the brim, not only with food but with laughter as well. Having stayed in one cottage allowed us to spend more time with our friends, gave us reason to stay up late and just really enjoy each others' company.

I woke up early and decided to cook breakfast before packing once again. Our one and only agenda for that day would be to drop by at Funtasia which was right in front of Fairmont Mountain Bungalows where we stayed for some fun time with the kids. We ended up riding the bump cars which are nowhere near the bump cars I used to ride when I was a kid. But yeah, it was still fun and quite an adventure, several hard bumps and a headache afterwards and I was still hoping it wasn't time to go home yet.

An overnight's stay is never enough but it felt good to be out no matter how challenging it is to travel with kids. But more than the fun and quality time spent, I'm just thankful that we all got home safe :D
