Even though K's not with us yet - D decided that we should head north into Canada - British Columbia to be exact. The weather is great for driving - Blue Skies - only a couple of rain showers. Ya just can't stop us.
We zipped right through the state of Washington. Spring has sprung up here. K would love all the flowers. We saw lilac, dogwood (didn't look anything like a wooden dog) and lots and lots of apple orchards. So many trees... so little time to stop. Woof! As we drove we heard splat, splat, splat - we thought it was hail but nope - BEES. There's so much in bloom that the bees are everywhere. We did get a couple of good rain storms - just enough to clean the windshield.
D wanted to head over highway 20 through the Cascade Range - but it's still closed because of snow. So, that's when he made the decision to go to Canada. What the heck - it's up there for a reason, right?
Crossing the international border was fun. D was ready and we were ready - no misbehaving - no growling - no barking. We didn't want to spark an international incident. D had his passport out and ready and he had our health certificates out and ready. Dissapointment - the Canadian officer didn't even want to look at them. She was more interested in why we all wanted to go to Canada, when we were there last and when we were coming back. Geez, problem with tourism or what? If we come back through this border crossing - it should be a breeze. There is a big sign that says that the US Customs office and Border Crossing is only open from 9a.m. to 5 p.m.. We figured the "bad guys" don't get up really early and they don't stay up too late.
Who knows where we'll all go tomorrow - at this rate, we could be barking North to Alaska!
Daily Observation: We're fortunate to live in such a beautiful country, eh?
