Year of Being 50: Day 81: Pacific Northwest Trip, Day 12
Canada!
This was the day that Rory, the kids, and I headed up to Canada. Ferndale is very close to Canada, and the kids had never been there before. So their first Canadian experience wasn’t super exciting, but when you’re used to just your own country, even seeing different brand names and street signs can be fascinating.
So we went up, went grocery shopping for some goodies, got some poutine at A&W (it was surprisingly good poutine), got the necessary Tim Horton’s dozen donuts (better than Dunkin’), and headed back.
I didn’t take many photos, but here are a few.
- Maple Leafs!
- Pretty postboxes
- The all-important TIm’s.
- The Peace Arch at the border.
- A really pretty art installation also at the border.
