Since we're from Vancouver, we love regularly make trips to Victoria. On this special trip, we went beyond Victoria to different stops on Vancouver Island including Qualicum Beach, Parksville and Nanaimo.

On Victoria Day long weekend, we made the trip to Sunshine Coast, British Columbia. It is a ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay in North Vancouver and the trip was relaxing and the perfect weekend getaway for us and Markus.

We recently took a trip down the I-5 to Portland, Oregon and we got to see some amazing sites and capture beautiful photos and memories. Driving from Vancouver, we stayed over for two nights and got to do quite a few activities with Markus.

On this trip, we had some business in Seattle, but after that was done, we took some time out to visit the islands near Seattle along the west side of the state of Washington.

This past weekend, we felt like taking an impromptu trip and go someplace with Markus. Without having anything planned, we booked a hotel at the Hotel 116 and spent the weekend in Bellevue.

Last weekend, we attended a wedding in Sorrento and got to bring Markus along on the trip. While we were there, we had some down time and got to explore these areas of interior British Columbia.

We went down to Seattle for a concert last weekend and we ended up staying in Bellevue because of the cost and we really enjoyed our time there. About 20 minutes out of Seattle, Bellevue is a great place to stay with its own activities in the area.

Last weekend, we took our first official overnighter trip with Markus to Salt Spring Island in British Columbia. We wanted to share some of our highlights while we were on the island, places we stayed and the trip getting there (which requires a ferry)!
