I am still on Cloud 9 from my family coming to visit us up here in Seattle! I'll probably break this into 2 blog posts, this first one focusing on our 2 day adventure up to Victoria in BC. None of us had ever been and we all loved it. We took the Washington State Ferry early in the AM, and went through Anacortes, WA.

The weather was perfect! |
|
Reunited and it feels so good |
Then we headed straight to Butchart Gardens, which we had heard was a must-see. It really was the most glorious collection of gardens! Rose gardens, sunken gardens, Japanese gardens, Italian gardens...see for yourself!

Paul felt right at home in the Japanese gardens |
|
The Sunken Gardens |
|
Did I mention there was gelato involved? Mmmm |
The pictures don't really do it justice. That night we wandered around the Inner Harbour, enjoying all the sights.
