Fridays Favorite

One of my favorite placed to go with Rob for a quick escape is to Tofino, British Columbia. It is incredibly magical and it just gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling that you really can not explain.

Typically we fly into Nanimo and let all worries disappear while we go on a beautiful drive up the island heading to Tofino. On the way we drive through an amazing old growth forest, there are really no words to describe the beauty that you find there. Here are 2 images I captured on our last trip.

Whenever we make the excursion we always stay at Long Beach Lodge Resort. It is a small resort with a total of 61 amazing rooms. In the last few years it has won numerous awards including one of the top hotels in Canada by Conde Nast Traveler Magazine.

Whether it is during the summer when you go or in the fall for storm season you will not be disappointed. Between the atmosphere, the rooms, and the food you will have an amazing time. BTW, it is a great surfing location as well.
