Valley home

When we left for Vancouver Island, interior BC had the highest number of active COVID cases in the province. We abided by the Provincial Government’s recommendations of non-essential travel within the interior. So we drove through the Okanagan, and stopped in the Fraser Valley in Chilliwack. On the way to Chilliwack, they loved all the tunnels in Rogers Pass, the greenery and the orchards. The girls were such troopers. Since the start of this trip Sheldon and I vowed to not use iPads unless it was an emergency. And so far, the girls didn’t use them. They quite enjoyed each other’s company and looking out the window.

It was quite difficult to see the charred forests along the Coquihalla highway. There were several hot spots and many helicopters were still putting out fires. You could see where wildfires jumped to the other side of the highway.

To be honest this is the only thing I remember about Chilliwack: a mobile chapel in between our hotel and a fast food joint.

Next stop: our ocean home. Hopefully we are lucky enough to see a whale and that I don’t hurl off the side of the boat!
