Goode Beach


It's been a while since I blogged because we were in Albany at a beach house that did not have wifi. Before we left we went on a Christmas light cruise that was absolutely lovely. It went down canals that have houses on them that decorate every year; it was fun and festive and felt very Christmasy (they even had carollers!)
 

On Wednesday we left to Albany and arrived at our beach house that was right by Goode Beach. It was such an unbelievably beautiful area! I scoped it out and the next day got up early for a morning walk and to watch the sunrise. 



The house was equipped with kayaks so later on Thursday we took them out and headed to the beach. The water was so unbelievably clear that even in neck deep water you can still see the bottom- even the shadows of the kayaks were visibly on the ocean floor. It wasn't too hot but we still got sunburnt because of how differently the sun burns here. We loved kayaking and swimming and had an absolutely lovely time. For dinner we headed to town and found an awesome italian place. 



My sunburn was so painful that I was afraid to go out into the sun so the next day we just chilled inside. On Saturday (my birthday) there was a crazy storm with hail and lightning- Kevin and I still wanted to kayak but got covered by the waves when we tried so we admitted defeat and went back home for another lazy day. 
Yesterday (Sunday) was out last day there so we packed our stuff and headed to town for breakfast. On our way home we stopped at the Tree Top Walk in the Valley of the Giants. It was so cool to walk among the tree tops being suspended 130 feet in the air on a wobbly bridge, it was good fun and a very cool experience. 


 
We don't really have any plans for this week yet because it's Christmas week and a lot of stuff if closed; although we might head to Fremantle on Saturday. 
Hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas and remembrance of what Christ's birth made possible for us.

More Perfect Days Please

I just loved today. This week I got quite sick and was couped up in my house for the last 3 days, only leaving my house to buy myself medicine, soup and tissues. I like to rest, but not that much. You can imagine how refreshing it was to get out of the house today and just go do some of my favorite things around Vancouver. Firstly, Tanya and I hit up Albina Press, then headed to Vintage Books where I always buy books based on their covers. Then we went on a walk at the waterfront, grabbed some dinner at Warehouse 23 and watched the sunset at Columbia. It's simple- but its enough to make me happy. 

You missed me, I'm flattered

Hello Peasants, multiples of yous have requested an updated blog post- like whyyyyyy tho? Please note the following reasons for which I have stopped blogging: IG stories now keeps all of my highlighted content from my travels I keep a journal for the deep stuff I have become more introverted and am very intentional about spending purposeful time with people that matter to me- basically all of the important people already know what's going on in my life. If you read my blog... well then, lets rethink our friendship But I'll bite, I'll provide a quick update of a few places I have traveled to and a few things I have learned about myself/God/the world/existence/life/people etc., since my last post.  Alrighty, lets dive in - I'll try to keep it brief (skip to the end to go straight to my life learnings.) March 2019- Victoria B.C. Not going to go into detail but we ate a lot of good food and saw a lot of pretty things. I made friends with a Chocolatier a...
