beach acres

at the beach

early this week we packed our bags, packed the bb & headed out for a quick vacation - two days at the fabulous beach acres resort... yes there was a heatwave going on, yes we had to wait in the ferry line-up (only 37c at that point) - but we were so looking forward to a few days away (we have been trying to organize a quick trip for awhile - when i was asked to take some photos of the resort we jumped at the opportunity)!

sunset on the bluff
our cottage was on the bluff overlooking the ocean & gorgeous beach (i'm pretty sure that is the best of both worlds; close to the ocean & close to the forest). i'm sure one could just sit for days looking out to sea listening to the rustle of the magestic arbutus trees on the cliff.

one could sit for days but there is just too much to do - walk down to the beach for a swim, run to the market for breakfast, wade in the river & have a picnic, do some beach combing, pick pine cones in the forest, play in the pool, build a sand castle, bbq on the veranda, walk through the woods, play tennis, then back to the ocean for the sunset (any random order of these & numerous other activities would do!)...
