Jade and Hank

Hank and Mark

Thursday July 7 2011
Left for  Vancouver Island to visit cousin Mark.  Left at 8am to catch the Ferry in Tsawwassen for 10:15 departure.   Cost $78. for the 2 of us and the truck on the Ferry.  Took 2 hours on the ferry and then about a 2 hour drive to Courtney where Mark lives.  His daughter Treasure and I were messaging so that we could surprise Mark, he didn't know we were coming.  Treasure had arrived yesterday.  She told us to meet them at Boston Pizza in Courtney, Mark was so surprised when he came in, he was yelling and the whole restaurant heard him lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  what a blast, awesome to see him.  Treasure and her friends Scott and Craig where there and also Marks other half Carol.  We went back to their house after lunch and just sat around and visited for the evening. Hank bonded with Jade their golden doodle dog!!!! Whats up with that, every where we go, Hank and the dogs, do you think he needs one or what.   Lots of laughs.  They kept us up past our 9:30 bed time though!
