Today, I’m participating in her summer blog crawl over at Gallery No. Eight! So, hello if you’re a visitor today! I’m so thrilled to have you here! 🙂
Brittany asked us to share a summer moment with you. My favourite is always found in Tofino, over on the Westcoast of Vancouver Island. It’s the place that we go ever summer. And every summer we talk about how we could live there year-round. It’s that wonderful. And relaxed. And beautiful. Here are some of my favorite places in and around Tofino!
This is one of the largest trees on Meares Island. You can get there by kayak, or water taxi. I’ve done both, and either way it’s fabulous! Do you see my son at the bottom of the tree?
Beach time, of course, is always a hit. It’s the first thing we do when we arrive. And, after a ferry ride, and hours of driving, some open space to run is perfect.
Canada’s answer to surfing. Thrilled that I tried, and conquered. ; )
And for those of you with kids… you need to take them to see the aquarium in Ucluelet. It’s a fifteen minute drive from Tofino, and the best aquarium we’ve ever been to.

I love Tofino. I have never tried full on surfing but boogy boarding instead AND wet suits are a must! Hope your summer is treating you well. When is the sun going stay for more than 3 days?
Gorgeous photos!
Thanks Amy. It’s hard to take a bad picture when everything is so beautiful!! : )
Hi, Rosa! Your talk of Tofino has inspired us to do a mini road trip there this summer! I think we’d better check out that aquarium! You two look hot in your wet suits!!!
Just to clarify, the aquarium is the smallest ever, and the best ever… don’t want your expectations to surpass the reality. You won’t regret going to Tofino, I promise!! : )
