After busting our humps for a week in the kitchen repainting, replacing light fixtures and all that entails in an older house, we hopped in the car to drive 1400km down to Vancouver Island. We had a deadline to make it for my Mother-in-law's 60th birthday party. Jen had planned it from FSJ and we booted down here so she could cook up a storm for the BBQ.

The road trip was actually quite uneventful. We drove for 13 hours the first day and made it most of the way down to the coast. We caught the ferry over the next day and had a little more relaxing day. We were up late that night visiting with Jen's parents and then up early the next day to do last minute shopping for the party and Jen had to start cooking. We had a southern bbq with brisket, pulled pork, chicken wings, baked beans and potato salad. Jen's mom had a great time and so did all of the guests.

| The perfect combination |
Jen and I are extremely tired now and it's cloudy and cool outside. We are hoping to have a day of rest and do a whole lot of nothing.
