Back From Lotus Land

We arrived back home late Saturday night. The trip to BC was fantastic - the traveling... not so much. Jacob decided he doesn't sleep on airplanes so he cried on and off for most of the flights. On the bus from the airport to the hotel he did his first grown up throw-up. We're not talking about a baby spit-up - this was the real deal, all over himself, all over me, all over the bus. After that though, they were both great.

We were in a hotel in the city for a total of 3 nights and we managed Indian, Thai and Moroccan take-out. Oh the joys of big city food. We also did breakfasts at our old haunts, JJ Bean, Cafe Deux Soleils and Sophie's. Didn't have much time to see old friends but we did see Shauna & Mike and their 3 (!!) kids. Plus a drop-in at one of Kate's old hospitals. The balance of the week was out at Gambier. We almost sold the cottage but that potential deal fell through, so it's still up for grabs. It was so special having the kids out to the place where we had always imagined having kids. The weather was breathtaking so we were in the ocean almost every day and we hiked all over the island.

We did the swings tour of the city. Here's Molly in a "big kid" swing in the park by our old house in Van.
