Hullo! We are going on an adventure and it's a surprise!!! But not for me!
Can you tell who this might be? I like the t-shirt... it fits my vibe!
Yes!! It's Rose!!
We drove south for a ways and crossed the 49th Parallel. Which... for a LOT of Canada means you are crossing into the USA but... on Vancouver Island, it just means you are now in Ladysmith!
Rose didn't know anything about the 49th Parallel...
But then she's not really into geography!
The cherry trees were all shedding their blossoms... and Rose thought this would look cute on me!
We went into a thrift store and found this picture which reminded me of my pal,
Little Fox!
Righto... we drove further south and came to...
Duncan! They have some nice city gardens...
And a bug hotel...
I think they could invest in a stuffie hotel...
We checked out the farmer's market.
This bag is kind of nice.
Oooh... pain-au-chocolat!
We bought one but... it wasn't as good as the ones at our local farmer's market.
Oh... and I got a new pin!!! We were leading Rose on a clue/treasure hunt to her surprise and one activity was to find something I would like in a thrift store... she picked out this pin!
It has a bear on it! Mama had a look at who "Deloitte" was to see if it fit with my vibe...
They are a Professional Services company that offers consulting and other services... OK... well... that's what I do!! I provide consulting services to my humans... So we accepted the pin... I kind of like that it's a beaver supporting the bear (guess who's the beaver... looking at you sekrebeary!).
And Rose got a blueberry cinnamon bun...
We then went for a hike...
We came
here a year or two ago... it's a marsh boardwalk. Here they are protected some native camas flowers.
We have those at home too!
Right, let's see what's here!
I have to say, it's much nicer when the leaves are out!
It's beary lush and we heard tonnes of birds...
Wait! What's that!
Oooh, it's a swallow... with a blue head! Beary pretty.
The hawthorn were in bloom too (another invasive English species... hmph)...
Pretty, eh?
Then we backtracked to Chemainus! Rose was getting beary confused at this point and we found this store!!
And a whole swack of British treats...
And they had chips... er... crisps... in weird flavours... like Roast Chicken. It was actually rather yummy.
And then we arrived at our Airbnb and got ourselves checked in by this bear!
It's quite a nice little attic/dormer room... with a view of the ocean.
And two beds... one for Rose, and one for my humans... Although....
I think they could sleep on the floor too!
I was chilling and then Mama said I needed to clear the bathroom of undesirables...
I don't see any undesirables in here?
In the corner??
What's in the corn... uh-oh....
... o...m...g...
eeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
Run!!!!!
Seriously... this is kind of freaky, no?
And I do NOT get paid enough to clear out undesirables like that! Humans will just have to make do...
I got to hang out with Guac and Salsa and Pidge, Rose's travelling menagerie of stuffies...
Rose is all ready to go on our next adventure...
Let me check my fur and stuff....
And... here we are!!!
We are going to the Chemainus Theatre!
But first... we are going to their Playbill dinner!
It's a beary fancy dining room... hence my spiffy outfit!
There's a buffet with appies...
We tried the sirloin slider... yum!
And then a main course buffet...
We had the lamb!
There was also a tonne of dessert options... like pecan pie...
Various delectables...
And... Warm Guinness Chocolate Cake...
Which was beary delicious!!
Then a Barry Callebaut Belgian Chocolate Fountain...
Where we could dip strawberries and pineapples...
Beary yummy!
Then we saw the show which was "Ladies Foursome". It was beary good...
And then we toddled back to our Airbnb and had a beary good sleep! Not bad for a surprise adventure day!
