Mini-road trip to Harrison, BC



Thanks to Sheila's thinking ahead, we managed to get a very reasonably-priced hotel room in a decent hotel in Harrison, BC. I hadn't been to Harrison in around 4 years and I was looking forward to getting away from my landlord for the weekend! Sheila picked Ely and I up on Friday evening and off we went!

This was my first time visiting Harrison during off-peak times and it was quite refreshing to experience it during quieter times. Also, we could see the snow-capped mountains from our windows (like I always say: I love snow, as long as it stays on the mountain).

The water in this little pool was hot!

We drove into a little town called Agassiz around 15 minutes away to visit Minter Gardens. Too bad it was too early to see the tulips. It was a really beautiful garden though, and the rain stayed away!



















Before we left Harrison we stopped to buy some wild honey. I have quite an infatuation with honey; it's the best thing ever! I was blown away by how many flavours of honey this place had! I got to taste quite a few and they were all amazing! I ended up buying blueberry blossom, lemon and raspberry.



On the way back to Vancouver, we stopped in Fort Langley. This is another place I hadn't been in for years. It's  very cute town, even when it's raining. When I'm here, I always visit the antique shop. It's like visiting a museum for free!








Santa's sleigh???

Back to work tomorrow:(
