This journey has been a long time coming. I left Provo on December 18Th and I just arrived two days ago on Jan 9Th in Campbell River, Canada. The night before I took the ferry over to the Island, Grandma and Grandpa Tenney and I caravaned to Port- Angeles WA. We got there and went out to eat at a Place called Bella Italia. Apparently, their claim to fame is something about Twilight. Either they did some filming there or it was the setting in the book or something. I don't really know, but I think it's the only thing that town has to offer besides the ferry to Victoria. I got up early at 6:30A.M. and got to the ferry at 7:30A.M. I showed my passport and paid my money and got in line to board the ship. Then I had to say bye to my Grandparents. My Grandparents have been so gracious to let me come and go and stay with them. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa. Here's my trip.....enjoy!

The day I left Olympia I got to go out to lunch with my childhood WA best friend Jamie Ann. It was so good to see her and catch up with her family. Thanks Jamie.
In front of Bella Italia, thanks Grandpa, it was oh so good.


My sweet Grandparents seeing me off at the ferry.Here I am on the ferry. It was a little cold out there.
My breakfast on the ferry. They had a gift shop and a place to get stuff to eat.
Almost to Canada!!!
Customs, they ask a lot of questions and really want to know if you have a good reason to be in their country. I do, I promise.
My drive up to Campbell River, it rained most the time. It was a beautiful drive.


Julie gave me this Chocolate nut roll for Christmas for my drive to Canada to keep me awake on the long drive. Thanks Julie it was oh so good.

I got a lot of funny looks driving from Victoria to Campbell River. I don't know if it was the Utah plates or the Untied States Postal Service bike on top of my car. You tell me!!

Stay tuned for my first trip to the grocery store!!!
