Beautiful Victoria, even better with Rainforest Tours!

I had a great time learning about nature and taking an easy hike with Toni to see a few beaches & forests along the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail. She is lovely and knowledgable about flora & fauna, and flexible with pace. Lunch was delicious by the beach. I would totally recommend Rainforest Tours!

Snow Day

They do happen every now and again here in Lotus Land. They are always unexpected and they are always an adventure. Today we woke up to at least a foot of snow and it was still coming down heavily with no signs of letting up. No school for the kids, and then listening to the … Read More
