"Let's Go To, Victoria..."

Ok, no Princes Marguerite cruise, but Julie and I did make it to Victoria via the Tsawwassen Ferry. We had a blast. Tons of pictures, mostly in three settings; Craigdarroch Castle, Butchart Gardens, and the city of Victoria. Lots of fun at all the spots. We had two great dinners at two different Tapas places, and high tea at Butchart Gardens. The gardens were spectacular.

A couple of pictures you'll see are a marmot and Julie with some bees. There's a small garden by the Empress Hotel, right in the heart of the city, complete with their own bees. Nobody is positive how "Roger the Marmot" got there, but 4 different environmental groups have been unsuccessful in catching him and relocating him. So he's made his home in the garden.

Enjoy the full album here (96 pics). A few of my favorites are below.
