Pender

Our friends we had met through moms group were kind enough to invite us along for a weekend at Pender.  The weekend started chaotically with a 6-car accident at the exit to the ferry, so we missed it and had a late, circuitous (?is that a word?) arrival.  Once there, we enjoyed our visit and Riles loved having a built in friend.

Got cheeks?

Only thing?  The cabin had loft-like rooms aka our room opened up onto theirs over the main room.  Also aka every single noise travels.  Vani was teething and up all night, and as I was worried she'd wake Riles and their baby, Si and I took turns walking the neighbourhood in the wee hours.  We returned exhausted.  It was just the right thing (lovely setting, nice company) at the wrong time.  Sigh.
