Tanya and Shane booked an Alaska cruise out of Vancouver, with a few days beforehand to meet with family. So we stayed in the area so we could join them. We had a great time meeting family and sightseeing! Vancouver is one of my favorite cities, of course, I’m prejudiced since I grew up there….
Thanks to Jack and Cindy for putting us up for a few nights, and Al, Cheryl, Wilma and all the others for their help for a very tasty family dinner! We had a terrific time, especially meeting all 28 relatives!
Since I didn’t bring my computer, this blog covers 5 days and has been severly limited. Yet it is still long, some 30 pictures. Hope you like t TVhem!
Cindy and Jack Laninga, our gracious hosts
