Sidney, Dining

Made the short trip out to Sidney from Victoria, BC a couple of weeks back on a sunny summer evening. Ended up at Beacon Landing Waterfront Bar and Grill. A real gem. Very impressive views from throughout the restaurant of the waterfront, ocean and mountains in the background. Wish I had known about this place sooner. Had the Tuna Tataki for an appy and the Filet steak for dinner. All of it melt-in-your mouth fantastic and the whole time drinking in the beautiful views.
Highly recommend you make the trip out to Sidney by the Sea and stop by Beacon Landing. It's right on the beach at the end of Beacon Drive. I.e. no roads or parking lots between you and the waterfront. Seafood was amazing. They have a large patio, a fully-licenced bar and lounge side, as well as a restaurant side where you can bring the kids. Enjoy!

Victoria, Whale Watching

Nearing the mouth of Active Pass, on our way to Schwartz Bay, our ferry passed a pod of 20-30 Orca whales.
They were swimming pretty fast- I think they might have been trying to escape forming a lifelong connection with Jason James Richter.
Definitley a very surreal, and cool moment. Especially, after just commenting about how I'd "Never seen a whale in the wild before". Give that phrase a try when you're leaving Tsawwassen.

Riverside Park is a large city park with a number of amenities not offered at the other Kamloops beaches including:
• washroom facilities,
• concession stand (varying hours),
• beach with a life guard,
• a number of picnic tables and benches,
• kids water park,
• tennis courts,
• two playgrounds,
• large trees for shade,
• open grass areas,
• a pier,
• and is within easy walking distance to an ice cream shop (Scoopz) and a number of restaurants - yummy!
This is a great family beach and this is where I’d recommend if you’re traveling with your family and have no dogs.
Riverside Park is beautiful and I love to have a picnic there and then walk up to Scoopz to grab an ice cream.

Golden, Biking

The best time of year for XC riding in Golden starts in September. The official Moonraker trail crew and the unofficial volunteers have been improving the trails all summer, the blazing heat is finished, the autumn colours are emerging, and best of all, the bugs are dead. There are over 50km of trails on this expanding network, the first dusting of snow is on the surrounding peaks, and recent rain has made the trails tacky and smooth.
