We went to Victoria BC this past weekend to celebrate James' birthday. We went over on the Victoria Clipper which leaves from downtown Seattle.
We stayed two nights at the Fairmont Empress which is a historic hotel that was built in 1908. It is in the inner harbor and close to downtown.
On Saturday we walked around the city.
and found a great beach on the south end of the island in Beacon Hill Park.
At night they light up the Parliament building in the inner harbor.
On Sunday we went to high tea at our hotel to celebrate James' Birthday....
and had delicious tea, finger sandwiches, pastries and chocolates.
Then we walked to Craigdarrroch castle.
We had a very nice relaxing weekend in Victoria. It is a beautiful and charming city.
Happy Birthday James!
Happy Birthday James! I LOVE Victoria BC!!!! It won't be long until I can hop on over the boarder too. :) Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteBTW - we will be staying with my parents when we first arrive and then a couple weeks in Cle Elum. We're kind of playing it day by day at this point...since my commute will be over an hour each way for my p/t job...I'll be in touch so we can get together at some point once we're semi settled! :)
