Day 14: We only stayed in Rockport for a night and so we drove again all day. We drove to a city near the OCEAN called Anacortes, WA. There we ate at a restaurant that had REALLY good chowder. The city has a city park were we set up camp for 4 or 5 nights. The water is awesome but a little bit FREEZING my dad and I ducked our heads under and I never warm up ‘till I took a shower. The beach was really rocky and hurt my feet. Oh yeah we also saw a seal that the family that we were with said it was a really friendly seal with one eye. So we called it One Eyed Willy or Blinkey.

Day 15: We woke up and ate a bowl of Lucky Charms and by the way my mom barley ever buys that so she is actually is a health freak. We went for a ten miles bike ride and me and my dad and picked some blackberries and they were great. After the bike ride we went to eat at a little restaurant called the Calico Cupboard and it was all homemade and delicious. We took a nap back at the campsite. Then the rest of the day was dinner, fire and bed.

Day 16: Today we went to the beach that is near the campsite where we found many starfish, shells and barnacles. Ian found the starfish and barnacles. I found the shells and I found 2 really cool shells that will add to our collection. Dad was riding his bike through the campground collecting wood that was half burnt from other campsites. Heehee. We just about had the biggest campfire EVER tonight. It was so big we had to give some wood to two people.

Day 17: Today was an exiting day we drove our car and camper onto a ferry and we are going to a San Juan island called the San Juan Island. When we got here we ate a place called the Rocky Café. I had a cheese omelette that was REALLY good. Then we took another nap in the camper that is set up at a 55$ horrible campsite. Then we went to try and find a beach and we found a beach where you can take a long walk on this trail that ran along the ocean. While we were there we got to see a whole pod of orcas that are world rare. My dad said we were really lucky to be able to and that we were like 1 in a thousand people to see one of those.

Day 18: Today we woke up and had breakfast then we went to an old American Camp. There we found a little cove called Grandma’s Cove. It was very sandy and Ian had a great time playing in the waves. We then came back to the camper and had a leftover lunch and a siesta. Then we went to a beach called a Rueben Tarte Park. We checked out a really cool resort that had it’s own beach. BEAUTIFUL. We are on an island in the San Juan Island and tomorrow we will go to Vancouver Island. P.S. We saw more whales today and it was really amazing.

Day 19: We have entered Canada! We went to a whale museum and then we took a Ferry to Sidney, BC. It really is cool driving the car and camper on to a boat. We drove to a little town called Nanaimo where we found a campground by a lake with an awesome bike trail and a beach. We went out to dinner and that was really good and that’s all.

Day 20: We woke up and went on a bike ride around the lake and then went swimming for a while and had a BLAST! We than chowed down some ice creams. We came back from the lake and went to the Gathering Place at the campground and played a game of pool and foosball. Of course the women won both! Mom and dad had heard about a floating pub and restaurant that sounded kind of good so we took a small ferry over to a restaurant that was floating! On the way we saw a little seal on the boat. We ate some really good fish and chips and then went back to the campground and had some bunt cake. P.S. My mom is still not a junk food junkie.

Day 21: We woke up and decided that we should go to a really nice beach that some people told us about so we drove to a town called Qualicum. We got to the beach and we saw a seal lying on the beach yelping. It was a baby with the umbilical cord still in sight. We left it alone because my mom read that the mom could not come back if humans are near it. Then some people came and started poking it with a shovel and making it really mad at them, it was an awful sight. We played at the beach a little more then decided we should go to the open ocean were the big wave are. So we drove to Tofino and ate a Chinese place ☹. We got back at about 12 at night and were EXHAUSTED.

Day 22: Today we woke up and went for a bike ride near the harbor and the ice cream budget has gone to an extreme high. We saw a seagull try and eat a starfish, but I through a rock at it and t flew away and dropped the starfish in the water. Ella is the Hero. We challenged some people to a foosball we won one and they won one. Goodnight! P.S. my mom swan out to the raft on the lake and after we scared about this sickness you can get by the fish pee and bird poop.
