SB2013 Part 2: Lopez Island

For Spring Break this year (back in early March) we flew out west to Seattle and headed north. We had planned a few day bike adventure in Canada and the San Juan Islands. Here are a few pictures from the second half: on Lopez Island! We stayed in Daisy's family cabin in the woods. Comfy, cozy, and out of the rain. We spent the day riding around Lopez and enjoying the two coffee shops.

Hiking at Watmough Point Park

A nice inlet - Watmough Bay, presumably

The happy couple

Reading in the cold cabin - before the fire was going

Delicious 'Italian dipping chocolate'

Sunset back in Bham

Readin' the paper
... And then we flew back to PA and returned to the Spring semester. But the best news is that summer is coming up soon, and we have some great adventures planned!

SB2013 Part 1: Harrison Hot Springs

For Spring Break this year (back in early March) we flew out west to Seattle and headed north. We had planned a few day bike adventure in Canada and the San Juan Islands. Here are a few pictures from the first half: our trip to Harrison Hot Springs in BC, Canada. Daisy's mom got us two nights as an anniversary gift! They dropped us off at the US-Canada border and we rode up to Harrison. During our day at Harrison, we rode part way around the lake, and of course spent some time in the Hot Springs!

Postcard worthy?

Harrison Lake - we arrived around sunset

I think they get a bit of rain around here. ;)

This park wasn't totally abandoned in early March... we were there!

The Brompton folding bike performed well over the gravel road + gear

Obligatory[?] photos with the Sasquatch! They claim the legend started here.
