Vancouver to Home

The rest of the trip was good - much slower paced than the cruise - but we enjoyed the stop in Revelstoke and the chance to see a bit of my (Lorraine's) family history.



BACK AT VANCOUVER PORT!



BRIEF STOP AT "THE LAST SPIKE"



HOUSE BUILT BY MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER
ON RAILWAY STREET IN REVELSTOKE



WHERE MY MOM WENT SWIMMING AS A TEENAGER
WILLIAMSON LAKE - JUST OUTSIDE OF REVELSTOKE



REVELSTOKE RAILWAY MUSEUM

We also had a chance to briefly stop in at the Town Museum and see the collection the Curator had on the Anderson family - newspaper articles, photos etc. She was very pleasant and accomodating which gave us an unexpected view into our past (Ron's and mine). We also had a chance to visit the cemetary and see some of the gravesites of relatives. Great-grandparents on both Mom's sides of the family were buried there along with a Great Aunt and Uncle, Cousin of Mom's plus other relatives of Mom's. As well we drove to the top of Mount Revelstoke, almost! The last six kilometers were still under snow. That seemed so strange since it was so warm down in the valley at the townsite!

We enjoyed a couple of evenings in the hotel hot-tub visiting and meeting others who wandered in as well. We tried out a Chinese Food restaurant in downtown Revelstoke and enjoyed the ample continental breakfast at our own hotel.



YES, SNOW IN MID JUNE!



REVELSTOKE FROM UP THE MOUNTAIN!

Will the summer hold anymore adventures? I think quicker than we would realize! It wasn't too long after this trip we found ourselves "over the fence" again and visiting another part of our province that we hadn't really checked out before. Plus just a tiny, tiny little piece of Saskatchewan. Next Blog!
