Vancouver Island is in the northeastern Pacific Ocean and part of British Columbia (Canada). This area has one of the warmest climates in Canada and lies in a temperate rainforest.

It makes for an INCREDIBLE mid-winter getaway within Canada. And let's face it, it's just an awesome place in general.😃

I enjoyed my time there so much, and was so "in the moment" that I neglected to take many photos - which is a good thing, I suppose. Anyway, here a few photos that I did manage to take ...

Dr. Xavier wasn't home. He and the rest of the X-Men must have been away saving the world, or maybe just out to the pub (see above):
