This past weekend we continued working down our list of everything we want to do in the Northwest before moving, with a trip to Victoria. Located on Vancouver Island, B.C.'s capitol city definitely has a British feel. That's partially thanks to the rainy weather, the numerous options for high tea, the castle looking buildings--including the Parliament complex--and the Union Jacks everywhere. Oh, and the whale watching tourist boat called the "Prince of Whales"...so cheesy but how could they resist choosing that name.
We visited the Royal BC Museum, where Luke enjoyed the life-size wooly mammoth exhibit (and almost set the alarm off as he tried to climb up on the rocks... we received a stern warning from a guard). And we had dinner with some friends in the very formal dining room at the Fairmont Empress hotel, where Luke behaved exceptionally well. We also went to Butchart Gardens, a beautifully landscaped park with several different themed gardens.
It was a really nice weekend.
I told you before all this info will be exceptional for Luke as he goes to school and at times relives his life in some essay snd modern times will prove through your thoughfull pictures. I can see 100%+ on those parers.
ReplyDeleteThat wolly mammoth that you're standing in front of...that creature scared the bejezus out of Griffin when he was 4. I don't think he was quite prepared for it as he rounded the bend!
