7-28 Prince George, BC

7-28-09: We reached Prince George, B.C. and looked for The Exploration Place Science Centre and Museum. The museum housed historical items from Canada’s past, a Canadian sports hall of fame, Canadian Indian artifacts, and a hands-on nature area. The kids saw a variety of animals/insects/reptiles. Luke’s favorite was the red-eared sliding turtle since he’s partial to turtles. Gaby and Luke also enjoyed the play area that had a replica of a showboat along with dress-up clothes as well as a sand pit where you could ‘dig’ for dinosaur bones.

We continued our drive west on Highway 16 to camp at Beaumont Provincial Park which is on the southeastern shores of Lake Fraser. The park occupies the site of historic Ft. Fraser, established by explorer Simon Fraser in 1806.
