On our way up to Alaska we swung through Vancouver to visit with my brother David, his wife Heather, and their three daughters Rachel, Kelsey Que, and Gillian. In addition my brother-in-law Tim Greenway (my deceased sister Jennifer's husband) and his current wife (my cousin!!) Barbara joined in with the festivities.

As is the tradition with us Dunns, due to our having been born in China, we invariably get together in one of the finest Chinese restaurants, order a plate for each person at the table, and when the food arrives it is placed on an eight-foot diameter lazy susan from whence we all dive in as the plates rotate past us.

After dropping Anna off at the Anchorage airport for her pre-arranged return trip to Ohio, Thomas and I decided that we wanted to return to Vancouver for another visit with the family. This we did, and spent a relaxing two days with the Dunns and the Greenways.

Gillian, the youngest of the cousins, attends Trinity located in Langley. We had a tough time locating her on campus due to security issues. It literally took us two hours of sleuthing before we were able to track her down, but it was well worth it. Gillian has a rare sense of humor. She could very easily be a stand-up improv! (unfortunately we did not get a picture of her).

We visited Kelsey while working at the Bank of Montreal. She works part-time and attends university full-time studying history and psychology.

Rachel is student teaching at an elementary public school. We stopped by for a visit.

Thomas visited a seminary in the area. I took long bicycle rides around the Vancouver Seawall, and twice around Stanley Park. It was an invigorating time to relax while at the same time tone some muscles after sitting for all those hours in the truck.

Heather and David were gracious hosts providing us with the opportunity for much needed showers, some much appreciated home-cooked meals, and a relaxing time of simply catching up.
