Dog-sitting week, Day 7

Sunday was the last day we spent time with Baxter & Carmelle, because tomorrow my friends will be home from his cruise vacation.  Vivian and I took Baxter & Carmelle to Lonsdale Quay for afternoon tea and bran muffins, and then we had a short stroll at Ambleside Park.

Update: I’ve uploaded all the photos taken this week into one album which is viewable here:  Baxter & Carmelle

Dog-sitting week, Day 6

Today after dim sum with ex-coworkers Vivian and I took Baxter and Carmelle for a long walk on a nearby trail. It was a good two hour exercise and everybody were all very tired by the time we got home.

My friends will be back home on Monday so that means our dog-sitting “vacation” will be over soon :)

Our First Wedding Anniversary Trip - Ucluelet, BC

It was our first wedding anniversary two weekends ago so we had a short getaway trip to Ucluelet, BC.  We stayed at my friend's vacation condo (thanks Rick) and we made dinner on the first night. On the anniversary day (Sunday April 25) we chose to go whale-watching. It was cloudy and chilly, typical of late April weather. The sun came out late in the afternoon which kind of made the boat ride a little rough near the end. There weren't a whole lot of whale sightings but we managed to take a few snapshots of a grey whale near the harbour. After the boat ride we went to have our anniversary dinner at Norwoods Restaurant.  We headed back to the condo and we enjoyed the wedding cake (still moist, but of course not as great as it was a year ago). We will likely go back to Ucluelet again in the summer time to explore the trails and maybe have another whale-watching tour again hoping to see more of them.
