Santa was already in the Vacouver Airport when I arrived.

How about this great red tabby in the liquor store in Blaine! Fun shopping experience.

The hotel room is ready for our Caravan

  Now this is what I call Christmas shopping weather!

Here is what the first day of shopping looked like

The long trek across the field to dinner

There was so much food from yesterday we had to heat up the leftovers in the hotel mini kitchen.

Then the dinner...

...and the computing

Next all of the fun shopping in Bellingham on our Christmas Caravan

Now this is a hardware store (Kenny)

Side trip to see the new shed at the motorhome condo

Here is another store in Washington with a resident cat. Seems that there is no need for guard dogs in the great northwest when we have these great guard cats.

This is fun, a personal movie for two on the ferry to Victoria

Linda makes a thrid Caravan shirt for Ann

Jonathan's smokey desert

How nice a lunch invite from Janet and Jonathan to a Christmas season lunch.

This was just to show all the flowers outside the stores on December 24th

I LOVE this Christmas weather!

This house was voted the best Christmas house in Victoria
