It was barely 10 AM, but our neighbours were already\u00a0up, in their lawn chairs having a little hair of the dog. We needed to be anywhere but the MacKenzie Beach Resort. \u00a0In town, we browsed the shops, spending most of our time in a bookstore.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-593 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/thosejohnstonkids.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/P7230902a-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thosejohnstonkids.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/P7230902a-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thosejohnstonkids.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/P7230902a-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thosejohnstonkids.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/P7230902a.jpg 1824w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>We wanted something more active so we went looking for a kayak rental and ended up passing by a fishing charter. Just on a whim, we went inside. I really had no idea how much a fishing charter cost but was curious. We agreed that if it wasn&#8217;t totally insane we would go fishing. It was totally insane but we went for it anyway. The budget was officially blown.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-592\" src=\"http:\/\/thosejohnstonkids.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/P7230903a-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thosejohnstonkids.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/P7230903a-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thosejohnstonkids.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/P7230903a-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thosejohnstonkids.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/P7230903a.jpg 1824w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The charter was for 5 hours, starting at 2 PM, which wasn&#8217;t for a couple of hours. We killed time by getting our fishing licences (don&#8217;t forget the salmon stamp), and grabbing lunch at an open air fish shack. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tourismtofino.com\/big-daddys-fish-fry\">Big Daddy&#8217;s<\/a> has the best fish and chips in Tofino. While crunching through a delicious lunch, we watched 3 bald eagles cruise over the\u00a0docks.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-591 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/thosejohnstonkids.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/P7230910a-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thosejohnstonkids.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/P7230910a-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thosejohnstonkids.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/P7230910a-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thosejohnstonkids.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/P7230910a.jpg 1824w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite the noisy neighbours, we were up early and went for a morning walk on the beach behind the campground.
