Day-Tripping to Steveston for a Sockeye Salmon
We headed out to Steveston today to see what all the fuss about the sockeye salmon run is all about. As it turned out we did not see any salmon running anywhere but we did see many of them being carried around in plastic bags. However, before we could do anything about the sockeye salmon,…

Wordless Wednesday’s Foodie Tour of the PNE
Our family-day-foodie-tour of the PNE this year… And then we walked over to the rides section.

A Visit Aboard the Regent Seven Seas Navigator

A world where the service level is unparalleled, where at every turn there is a smiling crew member welcoming you aboard, offering assistance, offering a glass of Champagne. Ahh…the Navigator. I was intrigued by the Regent Seven Seas Navigator…
