West Coast Cruise Day 13

Day 13 Monday, April 9, 2018

We started the day off by eating breakfast with Shelly's parents...

Us & The Folks

Danishes

Cheesy scrambled eggs, bacon, & ham

Omelette, hashbrowns, & ham

English muffins

After our delicious breakfast, we escorted my in-laws back to their cabin, where I was able to get a few pics of the port of Nanaimo...

  

Once ashore, we just wandered around town. Our first stop was at McLean's Specialty Foods to get us a Nanaimo bar.

Next we visited the Shih Tzu Knot Barking Boutique, where we picked up some treats for our dog Delilah.
