#13. Spend Quality time with my Mum

Last weekend I was blessed to take a trip with some fine people from the amazing city of Nanaimo. We ventured up to Mount Washington and stayed at the Vancouver Island Mountain Centre. The best part of the whole adventure was getting to spend some quality time with my Muma.

This was her first time snowshoeing and the most yoga she’s ever done in her life and I was so happy to have shared that experience with her. We had some free time on the Saturday afternoon and decided to snowshoe around the mountain. It was different than snowshoeing in Banff, but beautiful in all the same ways. Snowshoeing was the one winter activity that turned me from a snow hater to seeing some fresh powder and a blue sky and itching to get out and explore. That being said I do not enjoy any outside time when its below -10.

The food was wholesome and nutritious, the company was fun and the whole weekend made me grateful that my parents chose Nanaimo as their home. I’m grateful to be close enough to fly off and spend some time with my Mum, even just for the weekend.
