Our first stop on our journey west was to Olympia, Washington to stay with Chris, Cindy and Zachary Buhi.  While there we enjoyed side trips to Olympic National Park and Seattle.

The second stop on our journey was a few nights at Ruth & Jim Babcock's place in West Vancouver.  Our gracious hosts showed us the sights of the city, and the local parks!  Shawna, young Samaya, and Kim dropped in as an added bonus.

After ferrying from Tsuwassen over to Vancouver Island, our first stop was the famed Butchart Gardens, where generations of Parkers have viewed the splendor.

We stayed at Joan Brown's B&B.  What a magnificent house, and interesting hostess.  After the big party, went whale watching and headed up to Duncan for the night with Marg & Jerry.

Last but certainly not least!  The big family reunion itself.  Probably the best gathering of Parker relatives in 15 years, the event was held at the Delta Resort in Victoria.  Nearly 70 family members and friends attended the big event, and Marg could not have been more shocked.  We got her!  But even better, it was GREAT to see each and every one of you!  :-))

We have a ton of pictures to post, so keep checking.  Also, PLEASE send anything you want posted.  Be happy to give you a small credit.
