Finally, after getting a permenant job, I get my first (non-furcon related) vacation.  A week before last, mousepaws (yiffybluemouse) and I drove up to British Columbia, first, taking the ferry over to Victoria to visit his uncle, who happened to have a couple of free passes to the spectacular Butchart Gardens, where I used up my camera's memory taking pics of all the colorful (or is it colourful) flowers there.  The next day, we took the ferry back over to the mainland and made our way into Vancouver and met raqoon and another furry friend (sorry...I forgot his name) for dinner at Elephant & Castle's english pub for some Fish 'n Chips (YUM).  

Afterward, I followed Orwin and mousepaws (riding in Orwin's cool convertible) back to the raqoon's new place in Maple Ridge, a really nice townhouse!  The next day, Orwin took me and the mouse out towards Hope, BC, to check out the Bridal Veil Falls where we had a picnic lunch (after a stop at Subway) and then we explored some old railroad tunnels near the beginning of the Coqahalla Highway (spoooky).  Next, we stopped by Harrison Hot Springs on the way back where it was very busy with tourists.  We took a nice walk along the shore and saw where the source of the hot springs was.

A very full and active time up north...Thanks to Orwin for showing us a very fun time!  And to mousepaws for bringing me along to meet some of his relatives up north!
