Home!

On our way to Yellowstone park we stopped in Cody, Monatna where they were having a rodeo that night. We stopped for a bit to watch some cowboys have a shoot out before continuing on to Yellowstone park. The drive through the park was beautiful, the scenery was trees, mountains, lakes and fields full of bison. We visited the geyser, Old Faithful, and watched it erupt outside of the old hotel. After Yellowstone was a long drive through Montana until we arrived at Silverwood Theme Park in Idaho.

Silverwood is a park full of rides, games and shopping. For some reason we decided that the first thing we would do is ride the most intense rollar coaster in the park. Mind you, we had been cruising along in the van at 55mph for a month and a half so we were pretty shaken after. We spent most of the day there on the rides and then drove to Ritzville, Washington. It was a long night since we unknowingly parked near a train track on which a train would go rumbling and whistling by every hour. The next night spent in Port Angeles was much better.

This afternoon we caught the ferry to Victoria where, much to our relief, had a very easy border crossing. We were so estatic to be back in Canada and back on the island that we went for a stroll through downtown and caught an IMAX. On our way back home now, stuck in rush hour traffic...

Overall, we can both say our trip across Canada was amazing, the States a little less so but still a good experience with some great memories. Now it's time to give the van a break and enjoy the summer at home. Thanks for reading!
