Prince George and Vancouver trip 2015!

It has been a while since my last posted. I was away for the last while, in Prince George and Vancouver, so for this post I thought I would write about my trip.

Shortly after getting on the road we saw a black bear on the side of the road. It was amazing experience. I have seen two black bears before, cubs running past a friends house, but it was very cool to see a bigger one.

Once we arrived in Prince George, we spent time with family and helped my Aunt and Uncle set up for their garage sale the next morning. The following day we hit the road again, enroute to Vancouver! I have some family and friends in Vancouver, so I was excited to arrive. My mom celebrated her birthday during our time there, so we had the opportunity to see lots of loved ones during the celebrations.  On Friday I finally had the opportunity to meet my internet best friend, Maddie! It was an amazing experience. After spending a lot of time chatting and planning, it was great to meet face to face. Highlights included an amazing paint fight, sushi for dinner, taking selfies, and listening to music! The next morning we grabbed Starbucks and went to beautiful Stanley Park with her Youth Leader. In total we walked 7.5 km! Walking in sandals was just pain. It was sad to say goodbye after that, but I told her I would be back again!

On that Sunday, one of my best friend I have known for 11 years, Hayley, came over in the afternoon! My mom, Hayley and I went shopping and afterwards she got to sleepover. On Monday, we saw family and friends once more before leaving back to Calgary. We had a dinner over at my Uncle’s house, and went home the following day. On our way back to Calgary, we saw a Grizzly bear! I have never seen a Grizzly bear in person. We kept driving though, I didn’t want to interact with it! Soon enough I was back in Calgary! It was such a great trip!
