About two years ago
Mark, Nolan and I got our passports.
We were hoping to go to Italy
this year in
celebration of our 10th anniversary.
Mark never got to use his passport.
Nolan and I have stamps now
that we went to Canada.
Butchart Gardens
Our Morning Stroll
It’s fun making these incredible new memories
with Nolan.
He is a great traveler.
Ferry to Victoria, B.C.
It was a good trip.
Somewhat of an adventure.
After checking in to our hotel
I opened the hotel room door to find
a woman already in the room
and just coming out of the restroom.
Very awkward. It could have been much worse.
The bellman said
“First time I’ve experienced that.”
It was quite a show.
I apologized and stepped out.
And the hotel very kindly
upgraded our room to one
with a lovely view of the harbor.
Vacations are a mixed bag.
Amazing to get away,
see new sights, be together,
but just different doing it without Mark.
And it gets tougher
when I’m coming back home.
The last stretch of the car ride
or the airport terminal
Seeing others
reconnect with their loved ones.
