mini vacation

August 24th, 2008

We’re planning a short trip to Vancouver next weekend. It’s going to be pretty sweet. This is our third annual summer trip, and our third trip in the wrx, BUT our first time to take two days to get there.

Now that I’ve come up with this brilliant idea: leave on Thursday, meander to Salmon Arm, spend the night, and carry on to Vancouver to meet up with friends after they get off work on Friday; what the hell are we going to do on our way out there?

There is OF COURSE Dutchman’s Dairy Farm in Sicamous (we always go there on the way to Van, never on the way back), but that is pretty much where we’re staying the night. I don’t really feel like paying the National Parks entrance fee, so I guess we won’t be stopping too often through the parks.

URGH! WHY DID I COME UP WITH ONLY HALF A BRILLIANT IDEA?

OK. I looked into it. Looks like a national park pass for the day is going to be essential. $18 for a few hikes is fine by me, I’ll just pack a picnic lunch and we’ll call the entrance fee a freebie.

I can’t wait for Van, and my friends! woot!
