This niece is a bit younger, and J-'s sister opted to spend more time on her own this round, so we had a lot of energy to manage! It would've been good of us to take some scheduled breaks, but we plowed through and eventually exhausted his niece (and ourselves!) by the end of the visit. :)
We had the best time wandering through shops where we could interact while looking at fun things together. The Wharf and North Beach served us well.
Gartic Phone games were also a hit because they're free and very silly, and especially silly when you have two people who can draw pretty well and two people who cannot. :)
It was such a treat to see more of J-'s family so soon!
