Day 2

The B&B we stayed at was called Grey Cliff Cottage .



Our room was Gardenroom #2. It was a very nice room. It had a queen bed, dresser, closet, fridge, and full bathroom. They had nice touches all through out, like a drawer full of movies and a shelf full of books. Since we got in so late, the owner, Warren said we could come to breakfast late. Usually they have it at 9:00am. We arrived at breakfast at 10:00am, and Warren was just about to show another couple who was staying there, the eagles. Warren feeds them most days in the morning. So, we went out with them to see the show before breakfast. Let me just say it was absolutely amazing! I will remember this for the rest of my life. They are such amazing birds. I's quite something to hear them swoop down and grab the food with their claws. There were two baby eagles in a nest up in the tree. You could hear them squeaking. Warren said they will be taking their first flights this week. Unfortunately we weren't able to see them fly, but we saw them come out on limbs and flap their wings. The eagles have made the same tree their home for the last 12 years. Warren and his wife have have seen 25 eaglets born. Pretty amazing!










After the show, Warren made us breakfast. Eggs, Toast, Ham, and fresh fruit. It was very rich, and very good! After breakfast, we decided to take a quick dip in the hot tub before getting ready for the wedding. The hot tub sits in the back yard and overlooks Nanoose bay. It's a gorgeous view. The sun finally came out once we got in the hot tub. It was very pretty. We also got to see the tide go out.










After a quick shower, we were off to Seema and John's wedding. Only one problem, we couldn't find the map with the directions. After searching online and getting no where, we decided to just start driving, and to ask a service station along the way. Luckily they knew where it was and we arrived only 20 min's late, the groom however was 30 min's late, so it all worked out. The wedding was very cool. It was part Indian, and part Christian. Most of the women wore Sari's and they were so pretty! Seema looked beautiful in her two gowns she wore. They also served dinner, which was very good. (Great Indian food!) we had a nice time.

















After seeing the sunset from her parent's yard, (they have a very nice house with a million dollar view), we headed back to our B&B and spent the rest of the evening enjoying a nice cool summer's evening relaxing in the hot tub...which for this trip seems to be our favorite part!
