At the end of our week-long vacation in B.C., we drove to Deep Cove, a
small, picturesque waterfront town with one short "Main Street" lined
with shops and a few restaurants. After exploring the shoreline and
sampling the town's playground with our 3-year-old daughter, we got
daring and decided to take her out for her first ride in a kayak,
available for rental from a waterfront shop. We paddled through the
cove and into the fjord's deeper waters, marveling at mountains that
emerge from the water's edge, reaching straight for the clouds. Our
daughter was a little nervous, but the experience made us all the more
sad that this would be our final few hours in B.C.
