Snowbirds Once More

 



It was a hectic few days as we got the trailer ready for our first big snowbird trip south since the pandemic.  As well we had to leave the house in decent shape for our housesitter.

It snowed the day before we we left, with forecast for more snow overnight, but we woke to bare roads so we were off.  Traffic was light and road conditions were great until about Lytton when it got really windy, not great for hauling a trailer.

We were a little concerned about our plan to set up at the RV park in Fort Langley as they were not answering their phones on the weekend. But we were able to drive in and get a spot. It was not busy in the winter but they were sponsoring a superbowl party in the rain complete with chili.

Not for us though. We were invited to watch the superbowl in Kitsilano so we set the trailer up and drove into Vancouver in the dark and rain in time to watch the last quarter.  Go Chiefs.  Not a fan at all but I do know one superfan!

Spent a day with our friends.  In the afternoon the wind blew up and we walked down to the beach to witness the big waves roll in and the dramatic sky.  Raining over on the North Shore, of course.

After a takeout meal of our favorite industrial strength sushi (super sized, super cheap), we drove back to the trailer to get ready for tomorrow's border crossing.
