__My Summer Journey in 2010 __
====In the summer my family went to Brisith Columbia.We left on July 11th 2010. The journey had began, our family friends came with us.They were from [|Thunder bay ON,] so there journey started on July 10th 2010. So are whole family and friends came were off. At this time traveling in Winnipeg its Pretty boring because its flat prairies but also because the time we left was at 5:00 a.m. in the morning. So I slept in the van till we got to [|Brandon MB] .Everyone got out went to the bathroom, got breakfast.Then back on the road, we stop at a gas station somewhere. Then our family friends and my family went in our separate ways because they were going to[| Calgary AB]and we were going to [|Ponoka AB]. So we stop in [|Regina SK]to get gas and supper. Then we finally got to [|Ponoka].we stayed in [|Ponoka] and because we had family friends there. We stand there for two days so we stayed till Tuesday. We played cards while we were there and went to the store. And played video games along with watched T.V. We left around 8:00 a.m. for [|Abbotsford, BC.] So we went got to [|Calgary AB]around 11:00 am. We stopped for a few mintues got some coffee and food. On our way of leave [|Calagary AB]. We saw the mountians it was pretty amazing. It seem to take a while to actually get driving through the mountains, when got to the mountains it was like nothing you could imagine. It was really cool everywhere you looked it was mountians. The highway was pretty crazy to it was basically sharp turns the whole way there. And other people on the highway where passsing you even though you go the speed limit. There were tunnels on the highway which was different. Now by this time we had been driving forever and so we all stopped at this place and we took a bathroom break. Took some family pictures and then we were off again. We never really stopped taking pictures. It was a little scary when a cemi truck was coming towards you and there was a mountain in front of you. So you have to do a super sharp turn. About this time we have made it to [|Kamloops BC]. we got some gas and food. Then we drove the rest of the way to get to [|Abbotsford BC.]We had my cousin and her husband were waiting for us but by the time we got there it was about it was abou 12:00 am and they both had to get up early for work the next day. We got there tried to be quiet but my cousin was wake up and visited with us little bit. They live in a basment apparment and it was one bedroom.So my family stayed in the living room and kitchen area on the floor it was all good though. Then I woke up around 8:00am had a shower visited with my cousin she had to leave for work. The rest of my family woke up we got ready to leave to go shopping.We went to superstore to get gas and then Ikea and that was pretty cool. Then we went to a mall i don't remember the name but it was huge filled with stores. We did have to leave a bit early because we were meeting my dad's friend and his family. And the lived in [|Surrey BC]. So we got to Tom and Sharons place which was really nice, meet the family. They have two daughters Rachelle who lives with them and a Jen who is married. So we had supper and talked we ended up watching Brian Regan who is a comedian. Then we went to bed, the next day tom and rachelle had to work and so we had breakfast and then Sharon was going to show us were they worked. Tom owns his own company so we met them there saw what they do and stuff and met basically everyone that worked there. Then we went for lunch at this resturant which is near a dock we all the fishermen dock there boats. We sat outside and visited and had good food. Then My mom and brother and sister went [|White Rock Beach]. We walked on the beach and the pier. And there where little shops there we went in the shops. There was all so houses there which we so beautiful. Came home had some supper then watched a movie.The next day we went down town in Vanucover on [|Robson street] where all the nice stores are. Then came home and had a BBQ and met some new people and for appetizers we had rattle snake, it tasted okay i don't know if i would tasted it again. The next day we went to place were there stops of water and rocks and stuff but it was mountain water so it was freezeing and so you can't exactly swim in the water for all that long. So we sat in the sun and swam a little bit. Came home and the parents went out for supper, so we had left over pizza and then played a borad game with some other people. The next day we were leaveing for the ferries because we where going fishing on the island. So we all woke up and backed the boat and van and we where off to [|Bamfield Island.] It was so cool on the ferrie it slow of course but you can be upstairs outside or inside. Then we got to [|Nanaimo] and drove to meet our friends that drove with us from the start and we met them at the big trees on the island which were really cool i dont remeber where the trees were. Then we stop at [|Port Alberni.]to dock the boat then we docked the boat. Tom asked my sister and me and Amarys if we wanted to ride in the boat with him and Sharon and Rachelle and Rachelles friend Caldia. So we said yes and we got to ride in the boat the whole way to the cabin. It was really cool we fished and sun tanned, we caught hailbut and samlon and some crab it was really awesome. One day we saw some horse we asked to ride them but the person was there to let us ride them. Then on the last day tom took the family that traveld with us and my mom and brother and sister and me to see the eagles catch some fish it was really cool we got to see the eagle sweep down and catch its prey. Sadly it was time for us to leave, it was sad good-bye then a long travel home. We took a ferrie to Tom and Sharrons place. We stayed there for a night then left for[| Ponoka AB]. We go there stayed there for one day. We went to the beach and met up with cousins and took my antuie home with us. Then we packed up our veichle one more time and we finally got home to Winnipeg about 12:00 am if not later. It was an Awesome trip, it did feel rushed but i enjoyed my time, i would go to back anytime.====
