Canada

Justine is happy to finally get out of the van to go pee.
Only 15 minute wait to cross the border. Seattle to Vancouver: 3.5 hours.
Over 1000 miles driven so far.

Aberdeen Mall in Richmond. 99% Chinese.

Like Seattle, they love their water fountains up here.

Daiso – My wife's new favorite store.
Lucky for her, North America's biggest Daiso is in Union City!

Reunited with their distant 3rd cousins last seen together in 2005.
Justin, the oldest one, is the most mature, well-behaved 15-year old I've ever met.
Obviously he's not normal. But he's a huge help, like a fun P.E. teacher.

The beach at Stanley Park was amazingly nice. Water was very warm, like Hawaii.
The boys have played with water practically every day we've been here.

Driving aboard the ferry to Nanaimo.
It's pretty cool on your GPS seeing your car icon in the middle of the water.

Leaving Vancouver's Horseshoe Bay.

Ferry ride is 90 minutes.

My mind is at ease because Justin is in charge of the riff-raffs.

Waterfront at Nanaimo (a lot cleaner than San Francisco)

View from my uncle's house in Nanaimo where we stayed.
TV and movies galore, but no internet. More pics tomorrow.
