I made it back home from Vancouver yesterday. I had such a good trip, lots of sleep, lots of walks, lots of talks and a very good book. It was also restful, not having to care for anyone else, no laundry, no cooking, no cleaning. The photo above is taken not far from where my daughter and her fiance live, close to the water. My future son in law had his company launch on Wednesday, so he was working a fair bit. My daughter quit her tech job and is now hoping to make it in the world of online food bloggers; most of the stuff is on TikTok and Instagram though. She's following her dream.
There was a day of rain but it wasn't bad and left lovely droplets on the petals.
This is their baby girl. She's two and a half years old and I'm proud to be called her grandma:)
And Jack came home this evening. He's fast asleep upstairs.
I'm so happy that you got some time away to rest and relax. Your pictures, as always, are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth. It was so good to have time to rest and relax, not something you've had much of lately.
DeleteI'm glad you had a great time and were finally able to get some rest and down time just for you!
ReplyDeleteIt was very restorative.
DeleteI'd love to visit Vancouver one day. Thanks for this picture.
ReplyDeleteVancouver is a beautiful city, hopefully you'll get a chance to see it in person.
DeleteI'm so glad that you had a good stay in Vancouver and that your daughter and her beau made you feel so welcomed.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I have had our ups and downs, I felt very welcome. It was lovely.
DeleteGlad you had such a good getaway!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds just like what you needed. A food blogger, I wish her the best of fortune. That would be so fun! Pretty dog.
ReplyDeleteShe loves cooking and she's following her dream. She's braver than me.
DeleteThat sounds like so much sweetness! And exactly what you needed.
ReplyDeleteIt was perfect.
DeleteWonderful to get away and refresh! I've been to Vancouver a couple times and enjoyed it a lot. It's a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful place and not as busy or big as Seattle.
DeleteI'm sure it feels good to be back home. It sounds like a wonderful trip!
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to be home. I think that's what vacations are for, to make you miss home.
DeleteA perfect break. I hope things continue to be calm and peaceful now you're home but I won't hold my breath!
ReplyDeleteI'm hopeful too:)
DeleteSounds like the perfect vacation, and visit with family.
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to visit them and I got to meet my daughter's future mother in law.
DeleteGreat trip report! Some well-needed rest. Your granddog looks like a real sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteThe dog's name is Reggie and she is so sweet and soft.
DeleteI watch every one of Rachel's videos that comes up on my Instagram feed. And save many of them for future reference. Especially get a kick out of it when she gives her dog a taste.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoy the videos; each one takes her eight hours to make. Reggie is a gentle, sweet dog.
