Introducing Milli VAN-illi!

 So, Steve drove Milli, our Grand Hiace campervan to Golden, BC at the end of June!  She was purchased in the fall in Edmonton, but she went straight into the garage for the winter.

 
Introducing Milli VAN-illi! 

Our first trip with the new van was to Revelstoke.  Well, actually just outside of Revelstoke at a campground on Lake Revelstoke.  We drove through a bit of a storm on our way.  Cooper decided he needed me to be his human Thunder jacket.


Largest lap dog in BC! My legs were cramping, but I was still smiling.


Our campsite was right on the water -- Cooper loved it, and so did we!

One of the best sunsets I've ever seen.

We stayed around Golden, BC for our last days off.  We hiked up Mount 7 which is a popular site for mountain biking, hiking as well as paragliding & hang gliding (yes, people come from all over the world to jump off this mountain).

The last week has been really hot in Golden, BC (not a complaint), but the mosquitos have also ramped up as well.  The campground is near full most weekends (we have just under 100 sites).  The summer is moving along at a decent pace as we are already starting to prepare for the August long weekend as we are near capacity (I think just a handful of tent sites left).  



Getting a photo of the three of us is challenging!!
