The Drive from Prince George to Hope





We always intend to wake up early and get on the road but when morning comes the job of packing the car up takes longer each day. We carry way too much stuff into the hotels each night. We have an air mattress, sleeping bag, three suitcases, coolers, bathroom bag with brushes, hairdryers, and 5 pounds of other things, we travel with a fan if it gets too hot, and then we also have pillows and other food bags that seem to always be in the way . . . not to mention three laptops, cameras, video cameras, iPods, and a 20 pound bag of electronic cords to charge all the electronics and extension cords with extra outlets. The pile of cords is just a little insane ~ it's not easy to find the cord you're looking for and when or if you do it's guaranteed that it's tangled up with someone's headphones ~ I'll try to take a picture and post it so you'll have a visual on that one.

We drove from Prince George to Hope, BC. Another really long drive. We wanted to get as close to Vancouver as possible because we wanted to spend a day there looking around being tourists.
Seemed that we had a million trucks on the road with us today. They all go incredibly fast and lots of them have just too many logs they're hauling! We drove through a town named Boston Bar . . . seemed like a great name for a town (feel like I've been there in another life)

Traveling is different this year than the years before . . . once I was allowed to pick the music now it's all them. So I don't recognize a lot of the music I'm listening to and the volume is louder than I'm wanting. . . . feeling old.

we're back a few days on our posts . . . and plan to catch up before we get back home.
