We made it to British Columbia yesterday afternoon. We flew to Manila Friday and stayed the night in a hotel. Saturday morning we flew 3 hours to Tokyo. After a 3-hour layover in Tokyo we flew the 9 hours to Seattle. The trip was seamless and each of our bags arrived intact.
We got a rental car, a meal and some strong coffee in the city then drove to Canada. The short 2.5 hour road trip was fun as it was a familiar route that Andrey and I used to drive so often early in our relationship. We reminisced over the many trips we took together back and forth between Seattle and BC. We arrived at 3:30 pm to the home of our friends, Sam & Torie who are graciously hosting us until Tuesday. They are in the middle of potty training their son Bennett. There is a lot of excitement surrounding trips to the toilet around here. We are happy to join in on the cheering and positive reinforcement.
It is so great to be here. The Pacific Northwest and the Lower Mainland of Canada are beautiful! I love the cool, crisp air, the mountains and the plentiful evergreen trees. Yesterday's weather was cool and drizzly. It reminded me of life in Seattle and made me ache for it.
We had a great sleep last night and today we are enjoying the Seahawks game and plenty of snacks. It's getting a little sunny now so I think we'll go for a walk or throw the football around after the game. It will be nice to get outside and breath the fresh air.
