Blunderous day One!!!

Hello again, Katie here. So today was our official start. We did not get off to a very fast one. Originally intending to head off to comox on an early morning ferry, we did not leave until the 3:05 pm, and we barely made that.

The trip was actually fairly eventful. First off Brandon went off roading, as in riding over a curb at a funny angle, and flipped the trailer, causing a bit of damage. Hopefully we can repair it in Vancouver tomorrow! And I fell off of my bike on the side of the road!!!! It was one of those slow motion teetering falls that left both of us in stitches. I'm sure the drivers passing by had a good laugh as well. How embarassing! To boot, we got caught in a torrential downpour leaving us soaked and cold.

We still managed to make really good time and arrived safely at Gramma's at 6:45 pm, pretty good we think. We had numb feet, but after a hot shower we were ready to eat a fantastic dinner. Nothing like home cooking. Especially at Gramma's, it always seems to be great!

Anyway, that is all for now! We are off to bed now for a good sleep!

Katie (and Brandon)

I was wondering how your first day would go as I was peering out my classroom window at the windy and rainy weather. I guess it's good to get some of the blundering out of the way on the first day. You guys will be pros in no time!
Take care!
