Home sweet home?

 We left Kamloops at a decent time. Ready to make our voyage to my new home. The drive was pretty uneventful, arriving into Horseshoe bay around 2pm. Unfortunately while driving through a round about a tiny car cut me off( over a 2 tonne rv….go figure!) and I swerved to miss this rude driver and my side mirror came in contact with a large branch….shattering my mirror. I have never been so thankful for paying the extra zero liability insurance for this tank from hell. It only gets better from here. Since we were early, we decided to stop in Horseshoe Bay and grab a late lunch, early dinner as our ferry didn’t leave until 4:45pm. We enjoyed the beautiful view from one of the oldest restaurants in the town. 


Shortly after lunch we got in line for the ferry. Our reservation was for a 25ft RV. With the bike rack on the back, well….we were past that. Luckily we had a nice BC ferry worker whom forgave the discrepancies. Will getting in line, going 10km hour my rv launched over an unmarked speed bump causing Parker to levitate off the back bed colliding with the cupboards over top. It continued to get better from there. Unfortunately I was on concussion watch for the rest of the night. Did I say I hated this tank from hell….lol. We got on the ferry and continued our trek to the Sunshine Coast . When we arrived to Halfmoon bay I had arranged with my landlord to rent some cabins, because truthfully travelling 5400kms with 3 cats, one dog and 2 kids was a bit confining. I rented 2 cabins so we could get a good nights rest. Also I needed to empty the RV and clean it to be returned in 2 days to the rental pace, because my rental contract was up. While emptying the RV for that night, this clumsy fart managed to skid down a gravel incline taking off three layers of skin from my left elbow and breaking both wrist veins on my hands. I literally rolled to my back and screamed” I have had enough of this fucking day.!” 
Bedtime couldn’t come soon enough. Of all the days travelling, I couldn’t wait for this day to end. 
I managed to get things, kids, and animals situated and turn in for the night. Tylenol, Advil and a little prayer on board. Tomorrow is another day, right?

A day of rest and relaxation.

 The day before last when in Sechelt we ordered a charcuterie board from a local shop in plans to head to the ocean and have a picnic lunch....
