Ben was fascinated by the baby crabs, which there were hundreds of!





Our resort here in Parksville is located right on the Pacific Ocean. It is beautiful with hot tubs, pools, complimentary kayaks and canoes. It is fascinating to watch the tide come and go. John has caught on to this neat way to stay in 5-star resorts. As long as you are willing to listen to a 90 minute presentation on time-shares, these resorts are much cheaper than regular hotel rooms. Our resort in Whistler was a condo style 2 level place. It had two bedrooms, two bathrooms, living room, kitchen and dining area, dishwasher, washer, dryer. On the grounds was a pool and hottub. It only cost about $85 per night. Here on the island we are paying $65 per night for about the same style place. We are staying in an ocean view place, with our deck offering an amazing view. This is definately the way to go when travelling with kids and you need some more space and privacy. I am sure we will always look for resorts when we travel again (provided we can listen to a BORING 90 minute speel. )
