my son & i had decided to go on a road trip from pender island to Vancouver island to get him a pair of steel toe boots for a summer job he will start on Wednesday of next week.

this morning we woke and the weather was good for travelling. so we packed up and headed for the noon ferry. oops long line up for the ferry. but no worries we found ourselves one of the last cars to load. and we were on our way.

made our way to marks work world and the runner/hiking style boots my son had envisioned were on sale for $30 off. only 3 pairs left. one of them in his size. yes !

as we gave the boots to the cashier he pulled out a coupon which he scanned and said for purchases over $50 you get an extra $10 off. ok 🙂

so we walked around lovely downtown Victoria. had mile high apple pie at john’s place and then headed to Sidney for calamari & greek salad. I know dessert before dinner but that’s the way the restaurants were located 🙂

and when we were purchasing our tickets for the return ferry to pender island the cashier said today is 30% off passenger fares. I like this synchronistic living !
