On Thursday Ron started his four days off and off we flew to Vancouver Island to spend some time with my sister and her family. We landed just after a very bad wind storm and had a delicious supper at Carol's. Carol and Mike live in a beautiful home with a view of the ocean and on clear days...the mountains. After a relaxing evening and meeting the puppies we settled in for the night.
In the morning we were treated to an amazing breakfast courtesy of Mike. Yum!
Through the day we had a nice visit with Mike's parents and then spent time decorating the house. For supper our nephew, Dustin and his family arrived. It was such a nice visit.
On Saturday Carol and Mike went off to work and we drove to Nanaimo to see our nephew's son play hockey. He was the little goalie just like his dad!
It was another stormy day on the island with lots of rain and wind but we made the most of it. When we picked Carol up from work the power was out there and at their home but we enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Mike's parents.
When we arrived back to Carol and Mike's the power was still out so we cuddled around the fireplace and enjoyed a little visit.

Sunday morning we said our goodbyes at the airport after a wonderful weekend. It is great being that close to my sister....just a quick plane ride away.
