We were only there for a few days, but we nearly took it all in within the first day! The Island is only about 185 sq km, & in the slow season there is a population of about 10'000 people (in the Summer it balloons to about 20-25000).  There are 3 main 'cities' onhttp://fourlukiesontherun.blogspot.com/2012/01/2-surprises-in-1-post.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (transformingtamara)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2895187314664417248.post-2863156627045894642Sat, 14 Jan 2012 20:44:00 +00002012-01-14T12:44:00.264-08:00We took another day trip to Victoria. I had to exchange some jeans & Chris wanted to stop by a few Breweries! We decided to take the boys to the Victoria Bug Zoo (they keep asking, but we've never had the chance). So, this time we did! It was pretty chilly out that day, so we didn't walk around (such a shame, it's so beautiful), but we had a blast at the Bug Zoo, check out the photos! http://fourlukiesontherun.blogspot.com/2012/01/trip-to-victoria.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (transformingtamara)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2895187314664417248.post-6375710617373418478Mon, 02 Jan 2012 00:40:00 +00002012-01-14T10:10:38.118-08:00January 1st already.....

So BEAUTIFUL!!!!! This post is about the Cheese Farm that we visited. For people who are trying to be as Vegan as possible ~ it's hard to believe that we walked out with more then 50$ worth of Cheese.... but trust us when we say, it really was irresistible!  (here you can see Chris' is drunk off Goat Cheese :) It was on our drive to http://fourlukiesontherun.blogspot.com/2011/12/salt-spring-island_27.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (transformingtamara)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2895187314664417248.post-8855026066458013988Fri, 16 Dec 2011 02:41:00 +00002011-12-15T18:41:10.963-08:00Here's a few sentences from Oscar.  Salt Spring Island is very pretty, but we did not see any Orca Whales.  There were two cool toy stores called Sense and Nonsense, and West of the Moon.  We ate in a place called Tree House Cafe because it had a tree growing in it.  Dad's looking into getting me fishing.  Merry Christmas everyone enjoy your holidays.  Hope http://fourlukiesontherun.blogspot.com/2011/12/salt-spring-thoughts-from-callym-and.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (transformingtamara)5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2895187314664417248.post-3686077638955119410Fri, 16 Dec 2011 02:40:00 +00002011-12-15T18:40:44.272-08:00Salt Spring Island was great.  It felt very cosy and everyone wanted to be there.  I mean they choose to live there so that is great.  We went into Ganges for lunch and ate at the tree house cafe.  Nice place that reminded me of Costa Rica because of the tree in the restaurant.  After lunch it was my chance to leave and visit the local brewery.  I tell you.  Youhttp://fourlukiesontherun.blogspot.com/2011/12/salt-spring-island.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (transformingtamara)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2895187314664417248.post-8406579307402803265Thu, 08 Dec 2011 21:18:00 +00002011-12-08T15:19:27.359-08:00Today I went on a hike with Dad.We drove to the beginning of the hike in Ladysmith.  We started walking down the hydro lines because that was where the trail started.  I wasn't sure it was it but Dad said we should keep going and see.  It worked out.  We soon saw a rock staircase and then started hiking up.  And up.  And up.  And up up up up up up up.&http://fourlukiesontherun.blogspot.com/2011/12/heart-lake-hike-by-oz.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (transformingtamara)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2895187314664417248.post-1259320227572002167Thu, 08 Dec 2011 01:12:00 +00002011-12-07T17:57:32.141-08:00so we went on a few more forest walks.

I love it (of course), I'm so glad to be back into it. It's so nice too with the weather (usually I don't need mitts, & a hat is too much too), although the hills are still KILLING me!

Moving day. We found a small town house in Chemainus that was a good price & relatively close to everywhere that we wanted to continue exploring. We got all of our stuff out of storage, & tried to find room. We really tried to eliminate a lot of things before we moved, & we knew we wouldn't have enough room for all of our stuff in the http://fourlukiesontherun.blogspot.com/2011/12/moving-day.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (transformingtamara)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2895187314664417248.post-7433890414450341688Wed, 07 Dec 2011 23:41:00 +00002011-12-07T16:15:45.739-08:00Hi all!

We live by the beach now in a cabin with 1 bathroom 2 bedrooms 1kichen and a living room.  This is what we saw at the beach: a small white jellyfish, a trout-like fish about 1 ft long, a little fish about an inch long with wing fins, dead crabs, bald eagles, and about 40 sea lions!  We had a treat at the bakery before the sea lions.  Oscar and I each got a http://fourlukiesontherun.blogspot.com/2011/11/oscar-callym.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (transformingtamara)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2895187314664417248.post-8699673154961514285Thu, 24 Nov 2011 23:34:00 +00002011-11-24T15:34:34.817-08:00It's pouring out again. I'm not complaining. Better then the nasty windy cold. But I wish I had a rain coat. Here are a bunch of photos I have laying around. Hope you enjoy!

Yeesh! A lot has been going on here since the last post. We're still kinda stressed out ~ but it's more because we have been held up in such small spaces together for soooo long & not because we don't have jobs! The job search is going well enough (I guess), it's tough out here.

We got to the Sea Side Marina Resort & unpacked knowing that we were going to be here until we found a real true rental. It felt so good to be 'home' for a while. I think Twinkle knew it too, she made herself super comfortable. It's just a tiny little cabin, but it's perfect for us right now.
