Hawaii Day 7

Our last day in Hawaii, we were all pretty sun burnt and tired. Enjoyed a day of relaxing indoors walking around and eating some cool treats! Mochi Ice Cream =D

So there's currently 3 wild fires around the Kelowna area: Glenrosa, Rose Valley, and Terrace Mountain.

I'm still in Vernon for work for the next day or so but here's one of the pictures I snapped from my friend's cabin out on Okanagan Lake just north of Fintry. There's been a heavy cloud hovering over Vernon the last few days making it hard to breath. Ash keeps drifting down from the sky like snowflakes. Luckily, this afternoon it started to rain so hopefully all the fires will be put out soon.

Camping weekend!

Lac Le Jeune: ~30min south of Kamloops just off Coquihalla hwy.
...of course, that 30min drive probably would be MUCH shorter if I didn't take the back roads and enjoyed the sweeping hills and bends =D
