As we drove deeper into Canada we were amazed at the beauty of our surroundings.  My pictures don't even capture the awesomeness of what we saw. It felt like we were in a jungle surrounded by a big green forest.

We had just driven through Organ and Washington States that were also very green and amazing but what we saw in British Columbia was outstanding.  British Columbia was full of amazing waterfalls around each turn in the road.  There was a cloud cover that hung over as we drove around little mountain roads.  This was the perfect setting for seeing Big Foot.  This area was covered in all kinds of lakes, rivers, streams and the most beautiful waterfalls we have ever seen.

We stopped in Hope,BC to gather info at the information center.  This is the city where Rambo was filmed.

Oh look, it's a Heston Rambo!!

We quickly learned that his symbol meant needed information; clean washrooms (bathrooms) and much needed WIFI.  I'm going to get a picture of the boys glued to their ipods every time we stop at an i~stop.  We all grab our iphones and start downloading and uploading maps, info and the boys of course loading more games. 

I cannot even start to really explain how amazing the sites were as we saw along the drive. 

The scenery even has Heston glued to the window. He's looking for animals; bears, elk, or moose. 

When we came into Canada we took Hwy 1 up to 97.  So this is our first day’s journey into British Columbia, Canada. Hope you enjoy the pictures. Most of them are taken from the front seat of our car.  I got Johnny to pull over at a few spots so that I could snap a few good shots. But again let me reiterate that the pictures don’t do it much justice.  It is one of those moments where you just have to be there.

After awhile the green mountains turned into more bare mountains with gushing streams flowing along side the long road.  But still a very cool site.

We pulled over at one of Canada's awesome picnic spots for lunch.  It was a quick stop because of shower came along to join us.  We have found it rather odd how on a sunny bright minute a rain cloud will blow up and drop it's water and then the next minute it is bright and sunny again.  Due to the nice little shower we did not waste a lot of time eating.  We quickly got back on our long journey. 

We made it to Prince George, BC. Nice little town. We found a nice little campground, grilled us up some hotdogs and then bunked down for the night. Just to let you all know, the bugs here are HORRIABLE!! Bring bug spray!!!!!! We used a half a bottle! Heston asked, "Will a mosquitoes suck all my blood?"

The mosquitoes may not suck all our blood but we have found out that the gas stations here will suck all of our Tooneys and Looneys. End of day one in British Columbia, Canada. I wonder what kind of adventures we will have tomorrow.  I'll post when I can get Wifi at campsites.   

Looney, Tooney and Walmart.

We made it to CANADA! No trouble at the border. They sent us right through. We arrived at the border around 7pm and took about an hour to get across, due to a line.  We seemed to be the only Americans going into Canada.  There was no line on the US side, but an hour long line on the Canadian side. 

So after we crossed the border the first place we stopped was a Wal-mart.  To our luck it was a RV friendly WalMart.  We we decided to pull our trailer up beside the nice RVs and bunk down for the night. 

Here we are buying a few items needed.

The boys were amazed at the differences between an American Walmart and the Canadian Walmart.  It was like one of those puzzles where you spot the differences between the two pictures.  Here was the first thing we noticed, Canadians call the Restroom a Washroom. 

On this bubble gum machine it states that you need a TOONEY. We had to ask what a Tooney was.  We found out that Canada does not have a one dollar bill, they have coins called a Looney and a Tooney.  So a Looney is a one dollar and a Tooney is a two dollar. 

Heston thinks that Canadians need to learn to spell better.  He spotted this sign missspelt.

Guess what, Canada has Micky D's too, and right in their Walmart.  This was dinner for us on our first day in Canada. The food taste the same and our American McDonalds.

The boys love the Canadian leaf on the McDonald's arches.

Here the boys are playing with their Tooneys. They are very proud of their Tooney.

Heston spots another word missspelt.  Can you spot it on this sign.

.

Another missspelt word.

Boys playing with more money. It's more like a toy to them. 

Funny little bunny hopping around the Walmart parking lot.~It's a Canadian Bunny!!

We are so glad to have crossed the border, we were really worried about if they would let us Georgia folks in. They did and now on to our next adventure.  We are excited to see and experience all British Columbia has to offer and then mozy onto Anchorage, where we'll call home for the next couple of months.

Seattle Washington.

Every turn of our journey proves to be exciting and a new adventure.  On our way through Washington state we decided to stop and go to the top of the Space Needle.  This top picture is of a tunnel with a house on top, we all thought this was very unusual.

On our way to the needle we saw boat planes.  It was planes that sat out on the bay, on the water.  Kinda cool.  We think so anyway, just never seen this in real life.

We rode the elevator to the top of the Space Needle which took 41 seconds.  Very fast ride. 

Here are some of the pictures we took from the top.  You could see all of Seattle. 

This building was cool, it was Seattle's music center.

The 605-foot tall Space Needle was completed in December 1961 and officially opened just four months later on the first day of the World's Fair, April 21, 1962.

The Space Needle was built on a 120' x 120' lot formerly owned by the city of Seattle, which was sold to investors for $75,000 in 1961, just one year before the opening of the World's Fair
