Birthday Trip

 My wife just had a milestone birthday. I find it difficult to figure out what to get as a present on these occasions and other men my age have said the same. Maybe it is different for women or for other cultures or generations. I was racking my brain and consulting friends for ideas when she said, "all I want is to get out of town for a few days." So she organized a trip to Tofino for us. I also enjoyed having a change of scene. We stayed at a resort right on the beach. We had in mind that we would be watching storms but instead we had some quite nice weather and very little rain. 


Here is the birthday girl on the sunny beach


Some interesting things we found on our beach walking 


Veronica's original birthday plan was to take family and friends to a night of dinner and dancing at Federico's on Commercial Drive. Of course that plan was not possible during COVID and we heard it had closed down permanently.
