Canada, Oh Canada!

Unfortunately after we had booked our tickets home for the summer, we learned that we needed to be out of the country for 330 days to qualify for the overseas tax exemption clause (I'm not sure of the actual technical jargon.) Needless to say, that meant that the good ol' US of A didn't want to spend our monies here and our options were either Baja California or British Colombia. Interestingly enough, having a baby has somewhat changed our sense of adventure, so we opted out of our amazing tour of the California baseball stadiums and a stint in Mexico for a tour of beautiful British Columbia. The plan was to make the 15 hour trip from Vancouver (BC) to Terrace where some of our teaching coworkers live. First we took it slow, Eugene to Seattle with an overnight pit stop in Canby/Mollalla to visit old friends. Our next stop was a two night layover in Puyallup where our cousins live. Isaac and Saraya kept Rawly (and us) entertained and introduced him to the Point Defiance Zoo.
