Whiterock Family Vacation

by Larry

Last Thursday Brenda and I headed to Whiterock for a family vacation. The past couple years we have had a family vacation in the winter up at Sun Peaks. But this year due to a number of circumstances we decided to have a family vacation near the ocean. One other reason is that the grand-kids have never been to the ocean and had the chance to experience the wonders of the ocean and all the marine life. We were able to find a large 4 Bedroom house in Whiterock about 2 blocks from the beach. It was called Whiterock Manor and it was perfect for our vacation.

Friday was a family day at the beach. We got real lucky with the weather; it rained a bit in the morning however by the time we headed to the beach and the ocean walkway the sun was coming out and it was beautiful. Lunch was on an outside restaurant patio right on the main strip and the sun was shining…….. it was almost too warm after the cool weather we have become use to.

Saturday was the day for a somewhat impromptu family potluck luncheon. Actually we sent out an e-mail a couple weeks ahead and we were surprised by the response we received. In the end about 32 people showed up it was a great afternoon to reconnect with our extended family. There was too much food, a ton of pictures taken, lots of visiting and too many people to thank; however thanks to everyone who showed up. Also thanks to Tricia for being officially the unofficial photographer, you did a great job. Finally thanks to Duane for being the bar-b-que chef……………. we hope you found time to get yourself a burger of some sort!
