Sunny Victoria

So... the adventures in Victoria began...
We went straight to the hotel and checked in... Jason's dad, Ken was amazing and got us an fantastic room at the Marriott near the harbour! He also got us access to the SERIOUSLY posh Executive lounge...
Once we were all checked in, we went for a nice walk downtown in the sunshine. We were all hungry and wanted to eat straight away.
We found a great restaurant and got some yummy food.
We got some great photos of us all by the wonderful flowers.

We also had some fun while we were walking around!!

Kayle enjoyed walking around and peeking out from under her pushchair... shortly after this was taken she fell asleep and was out for the count for a good hour!

We decided to make the most of our time and squeeze in a visit to the Bushard Gardens. They are extremely famous for having just beautiful flowers...

Some of the amazing flowers!

This was a really cool shot... it was thought this crazy wiggly messy bush...
you could see the harbor on the other side!

After we left the gardens, we got a yummy dinner on the way home and even hit Walt-Mart for a few essentials! Then it was back to the hotel for showers and bed! We were all exhausted after the early start!
We got up nice and early the next morning so that we could get all packed up and go to the Executive Lounge for our breakfast! It was all free and you could eat as much as you wanted while looking out over the harbour... that was the life!

We had to be at the ferry port mid-morning and so once we were all ready we headed off...
We had alot of fun in Victoria... but we were all exhausted and had a nice nap on the boat!
We had to rest in order to hit the Outlet Mall on the way home!!

I took Mum, Dad & Steven to the Seattle Premium Outlets on the way home...
Steven had ALOT of fun!! A successful trip for everyone!
Now onto the next trip!
