This weekend, for no real reason other than it was a nice day and we felt like doing something, we decided to head off to Bowen Island for a little day trip. It was a gorgeous day for the trip and the ferry ride over is always beautiful.
Needless to say, our water loving monster was in love with the Ferry and being out on the water. He did -not- want to get back into the car when the time came.
And it was some kind of windy out there!
The views from around the island are beautiful. It's a very peaceful kind of a place. At least, it is right now. When it's full summer and tourist season really kicks into full gear it's still beautiful. Just not quite as peaceful.
We went down to the beach and, naturally, found another place that the monster was loathe to leave. He was fascinated by this itty bitty crab but kept jumping back every time it moved.
The starfish were clustered about in the rocks beneath the pier. There were a lot of them there!
Just love the cool shades. So happy to be set up like Daddy. He even left them on for a while.
The view from up high on the island is ever more spectacular. You can see downtown Vancouver from up there! It's gorgeous!
I love the way the houses are nestled into the trees on the rocks. Can you imagine the view each of them has?
And, of course, little automated lighthouses dot the islands.
Did I mention that the monster man -loved- the ferry? Oh yeah, he was in heaven. Again, did not want to get into the car but at least didn't toss a temper on the ferry on the way back!
Really, it was just a gorgeous day. So glad we went!
