HAPPY CANADA DAY! Our day in pictures!

Boarding our paddlewheeler, "The Native", on July 1, 2009,
Canada's 142nd birthday, and my Dad's 80th birthday.
This was our parent's treat to us!
The 3 of us. My Dad. Colin, Marlene, Dan.
James, Robert, and Robert, underneath the Port Mann Bridge!
Robert with Stewart Goodin, our fantastic trip narrator.
Enjoying a delicious lunch onboard!
One of the lovely houses along the Fraser River's edge.
Happy 80th, Dad!
Our new Captain!

A unique sight!

A Captain of a different sort!

I did enjoy having you dad on board for his 80th birthday. Having lectured on history for quite some time it is nice to see pictures end up being shared. I hope to see you aging on board,
Sincerely Stewart Goodin
