We started our day at about 8:30 am. Well, that's when we woke up. By the time we backed up, checked out and had breakfast, it was about 10:30 am. WE got stuck in a bit of construction between Summerland and Peachland.

We stopped in Kelowna to do a little shopping. We stopped at a golf store and found Ryan a jacket and a couple of shirts. And of course we had to stop at the harley shop. Mom was looking for a new helmet (like she needs another one) and a new vest. She didn't find either but we did run into a friend of my mom's (Bruce).

After Kelowna we headed to Vernon and O'keef Ranch.


(This is a picture of Vernon from a pull out before we entered it from Penticton.) The Ranch was a neat little place to visit. We got to see a victorian home (mansion) that is basically the same as it was 100 years ago.



There was also a few buildings that were musium type buildings giving some information and showing some displays of the era. We really liked this display.



Can you imagine seeing a biker riding down the road in those. :D

We then headed to Kamloops. The weather wasn't nearly as nice as it was yesturday, but it wasn't too bad. It did spit on us a couple of times and we though for sure were were driving into a down pour just outside of Kamloops but we got lucky.

We then checked into another hotel and casino. We went for dinner and then on a hunt for a highlighter and munchies for later. We ended up going across the street to London Durgs, then to Cooper Foods, and then back to London Drugs.

After that little adventure, we headed to the casino. We didn't do nearly as well tonight as we did last night. I dumped $50.00 into the slos and walked away. I plyaed my Keno ticket again and didn't win anything AGAIN.

And now we are back in the hotel room ready for bed.
