Day Trip to Surrey and White Rock

Its Monday again! This weekend had some spectacular weather which just begs people to go out and enjoy the great outdoors - Vancouver was full of people walking the Seawall but we decided to get out of the city and enjoy a few interesting locales: the Serpentine Fen Bird Sanctuary and Blackie Spit in Surrey and the Town of White Rock!

Serpentine Fen Bird Sanctuary in Surrey offers several kilometres of trails along marshes, fields and waterways as well as three lookoutsI hope you all enjoyed your weekends! Saturday was gorgeous and as is our custom, we tried to be a little innovative with what we wanted to do We spotted an American Coot in the water at Serpentine Fen Bird Sanctuary- so we went to Surrey and White Rock!

We had a great time exploring two locations in Surrey - Serpentine Fen Bird Sanctuary where we didn't have too much luck on the wildlife front (best to go there for the birds during the Fall and Spring migrations!) and Blackie Spit on the shores of Boundary Bay. Blackie Spit on the edge of Boundary Bay is a popular area to hike, spot birds and enjoy beautiful viewsBoth locales had spectacular views of the water and the mountains and we enjoyed them very much (although I wish we had seen more birds).

We also hopped over to nearby White Rock - one of the smallest towns in the Lower Mainland to walk the famous promenade and pier, have lunch at the Boathouse (delicious Fish and Chips!), check out the local Museum and Archives and see the giant boulder the City is named for.

We hope you all had a fantastic weekend and you took advantage of the amazing weather!
