As I stated in my last post, my wife, daughter and I traveled to Vancouver, Canada. We wanted to expose our daughter to big city life and also wanted to do some hiking and enjoy the great outdoors. My wife and I love the beach, but our daughter Lucy is not a big fan so we thought perhaps she likes the mountains. She does. We had a wonderful time. Some observations:
The temperature never got above 65 and never got below 50. (At least it seemed to me.)
There was never any wind.
The people were extremely polite. Especially in traffic. I was surprised.
I had the best coffee I’ve ever had and I never visited Starbucks at all.
I never had a bad meal or bad service.
I don’t remember ever visiting anyplace with scenery this spectacular.
I feel like I walked about 10 miles a day.
I will attach some photos below of our trip.
It is nice to be back home. My sabbatical ends tomorrow and I am so looking forward to coming back to work. I began my first blog post by telling about an awful start to my life. However, one of the biggest things this sabbatical has reinforced is just how fortunate I am. Actually, we are all very fortunate to be working for this great company. Something else I learned during my time off is how easily I get bored. I did an awful lot of work around the house this past week just out of boredom so I am really looking forward to coming back to work. Can’t wait to see everybody tomorrow.
