halycon the third

easter weekend. you may know by now that means a trip to halcyon hotsprings for christine and i.

things got off to a rocky start when the side window of our car was shattered by a rock from a passing car. rocky start... get it. i can laugh about that now. but after hitting reset and making a few quick calls, we were off. in a car exactly like ours but silver and automatic. i had to hold christine's hand when i was driving to avoid shifting the stupid auto shifter thing. ar at least that was my excuse.

our rental car and our sweet little cabin.

we didn't waste any time checking into the hotel and out of reality.  the pool was a bit busy when we got there, but we actually spent a lot of time in fairly empty times.  sweet.

the pools. 

Soon our bathing suits were hanging to dry on the balcony and we were out exploring around.

could be sweet to stay in this sometime.

We walked around the area and checked out the lake.  we also cruized into nakusp for 3 of our favourite things; geocaching, the german pizza place, and the used book store.  during the geocaching part, we found our favourite thing #4.   the awesome chocolate shop.

still snow up there

Since we had great success at the book store (as well as all the other places) we had a bit of reading to do.  it was a mini chilly but sunny and pleasant.  that porch got a work out.

We spent 90% of our awake time in the pools, but we also accomplished another easter hotspring ritual... writing postcards at the picnic table in the park. 

we left a little something in ink.  see if its there next year.

the adventure gets better every time.  expect another of the same this time next year.

thats how it's done.
