TOFINO | TRAVELS WITH KID

Killing some time in the ferry line up waiting for our boat to take us home after our little adventures in Tofino, BC.



Taking pics at every angle once we are on the boat.



And watching a killer sunset



A nice way to end a holiday.

Tofino Day 2: Hiking and Beaching

In the Morning.
Taking a short drive [40 km] to the smaller nearby town, Ucluelet, for a little hike was more than worth it.



The Wild Pacific Trail, nice and easy, is a 3K loop with endless numbers of lookouts like this ...



and this ...



and this ...



and lots of greenery ...



And places to stop and take it in ...



and a few of these ... bald eagles ... in flight and calling ...



In the Afternoon
We spent the afternoon on Chesterman Beach.











On the menu? We brought our Dutch oven and made roasted chicken on the beach ... so yummy!

And when we were done, the wind came up for a spell and some of us went kite boarding, well, one of us [ummm, not me].

Tofino Day 1: Dunes, Zipping + Oysters

First, a guided dune hike in the Pacific Rim National Park in the morning. It was a beautiful peaceful walk. And we learned stuff too!

We learned about the 'bad grass' that was introduced to the area and is now trapping the dunes from moving and eventually turns it all forest. The tour was well suited to the kids in the group as well; it wasn't long before Spud was quietly chanting "no more bad grass. no more bad grass" to himself, on his own accord.



This was some of the good stuff. These plants thrive in moving sands and don't try to tie it down.



In 'downtown' Tofino, we found a playground with a zip line fun enough for grown ups too. We came back here everyday. Doesn't hurt that the big grocery store is but a block away which meant one parent could shop while the other parent zipped.



It's not easy finding good food at good value in Tofino. Well that's what we found anyway. But Big Daddy's served up a pretty yummy oyster and chips, among other traditional fast food fare.
