Spring Is Around The Corner


Although the rest of the country appears to be in a temporary deep freeze the west coast was sunny and 10 degrees. On Friday Kerry had the kids out in the back yard for hours including lunch in the gazebo. On Saturday we took the family to White Rock  For some reason we usually go to this beach when the tide is in but this time were lucky and the kids were able to try to walk to Vancouver Island. They didn't quite make it though they did make it to an island of sorts.  With kids in gumboots and adults in sneakers there was no retrieving them after they made this crossing.
After some well scheduled appetite building we started to head back to the many restaurants that line the waterfront. Depending on who you are our timing was either terrible or perfect as our way was blocked by a very long train. I think this is the first time Carter's seen a train this close.

We ended up at Moby Dicks where I chose the One Piece Fish & Chips.  I'm fairly certain I couldn't handle the Four Piece Fish & Chips that they offer. If you're not a Fish & Chip fan you'll probably see this as just a big pile of grease. If you are A Fish & Chip fan I can promise you it was quite delicious. Moby Dicks was voted one of Canada's Best Kept Secrets by Travelocity and I highly recommend it.
