did you know that it was the Guiness of Irish Beer family fame that funded the building of the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver? :)

Have you ever been out this way?

CC,
No, not yet. It's on my list of things to do one day. I hear it's very beautiful. DH has been across the country (on a motorcycle) and regales me with tales of his trip. He says BC and PEI are astoundingly gorgeous and they are must sees.
