On Friday, June 12th, we hopped on the ferry to Prince Rupert. It's about a 6 hour ferry ride. We got a berth (room) on the ferry, put the kids to bed, and tried to sleep ourselves. We arrived in Prince Rupert, British Columbia in the wee hours of the morning with just a few hours of sleep under our belt. After driving off the ferry, we waited about 1-1/2 hours in line to get through the Canadian customs. That was interesting because the kids were awake about 2 hours before we got to our hotel and could put them to bed once again--but they did awesome! In those 2 hours, we were scolded by another ferry passenger (who Quent thinks was joking, but I do not) and then we had to give our apples to the border control officer. Apples can be pretty dangerous, I suppose. Haha!
We did all manage to fall back asleep once we arrived at our hotel. It would be the last time we would sleep on a real bed in 11 days.
And so began our 2015 British Columbia family vacation:
Quent enjoyed the last of the evening light on the ferry while I stayed with the kids in the berth. At one point the ferry was rockin' and rollin'; I was just thankful to be laying down.
More to come soon!
Beautiful pictures!!!
