We visited O.U.R. eco village today. The village is a learning center for sustainable living.
I was excited to go here, because I have yet to find many other places where this type of learning is shared in a formal way. As you know I have an interest in education as well as architecture.
We arrived at [...]]]></description>

Day 8
hello my loves.
Well. I  have such a precious gift to share with you.  I don&#8217;t know how to present it. This building,  is a labour of love. It is a living, breathing example of community building, light clay construction, japanese timber frame, heart and soul.
Patrick Amos, a light clay builder spoke with me all [...]]]></description>

I cant tell you how excited I am to bring you this post. 
One of the reasons we decided to do this trip is so that I can do research in sustainable building practices out here. I want to bring you information about little projects that have yet to be documented and shared with the world. [...]]]></description>

We woke early, packed up and headed to Stanley Park, where we rode bikes, met with friends and visited the Aquarium. Yeah, we didnt hold back. All fun, all the time. Thats us.
We made it to &#8220;Rivendell&#8221; which is the well &#8211; suited name for this piece of paradise. We are dog-tired, and cant [...]]]></description>

We can handle traveling 9 hours with kids, camping, roughing it, cooking all food over an open fire &#8211; but visitng friends in Vancouver till all hours of the night [...]]]></description>

I cant believe its day 5!!! How did that happen? I truly fear that this trip is going to go too fast. Some folks couldn’t believe we were taking two babes for five weeks camping. But truth is, I cant believe its only five weeks! Granted, we are tired, busy, burned [...]]]></description>

a big trip day 4
So we hit the beach this morning and headed to visit family today. The beach was spectacular, and the water so warm! But, yeah, hard wood floors, and walls can be a good thing, when you need a break &#8211; from baby-eating-rock-patrol. What a lovely visit, dinner and time spent together. [...]]]></description>

a big trip day 3
 
yeah. so, I’d say the hardest thing about this camping thing is when we have to break camp, drive all day, and set up camp in one day. Yup. Thats definitely the hardest. It makes the days spent actually at the campsite really easy. And really fun. Today we left the [...]]]></description>

a big trip day 2
 
for a long drive is a day at the beach. And today just kept on giving. We had such a glorious time at the beach we are sad to leave tomorrow. We enjoyed swimming, sandcastle building, sand eating (thats Emery&#8230;) bike riding, and all the friendly folks&#8230;we think we’ve found paradise.

a big trip day 1
 
i feel like such a nerd. I have my mac out, and Im surrounded by wilderness. I tell you, I may never come home. Mark is making a fire, both boys are asleep, the sound of crackling wood, birds chirping and people relaxing. It was a very long day, too long [...]]]></description>
