Rest & Relaxation: Blind Bay, BC

Earlier today, leaving Red Deer on Highway II, we saw a sign, an Alaska themed semi.

The first stop is at our friends Trent & Melissa's. They have this awesome cabin in Blind Bay. This is the 4th year Jest has been visiting over the summer, and year 2 for Marilou. The cabin is on the Shuswap Lake near Salmon Arm, BC.

Incredibly in Marilou's new car we used just $40 in gas to get from Red Deer to Blind Bay. 700KM/7.5 hours of almost all mountain driving.

The dogs were pretty excited to get out of the car and see the kids. They already went for a dip tonight, and tried the SUP board with Trent & Melissa's daughter, Avery.

This area is similar to the wine region of California! Beautiful Rocky hills, vineyards and plenty of winery's for Marilou to take in. This is Canada's fruit region as well- the Okanagan is home to the best tasting cherries, apples, grapes, blueberries, peaches & more. And they are ripe right and ready now.

We're here until Sunday.

Swimming, bonfires and skipping rocks are planned.Read more
