Travis had to go to Canada to renew his work visa, so I tagged along for a trip to Vancouver, British Columbia - and we took a 24-hour trip over to Victoria too. BC is GORGEOUS.
We got to know this bridge pretty well...
The ferry to Victoria:
On the ferry (wishing I had sunglasses...)
In Victoria:
Found a cute little place for lunch:
Darth Vader playing the violin on the street:
"Sea Stars" (starfish):
i had NO idea how big octopus can be:
gorgeous! we walked around all evening:
Had so much fun we decided to stay the night in Victoria -
here was our last-minute, 2-level hotel room... with the PERFECT view of the water :) We even had Travis' friends over late-night, it was like our little home!
Views from the ferry - there was a chance of seeing sea critters (otters, whales, etc), but no such luck :( Still, it was very relaxing (but windy!)
Views from the airplane back to Houston...
(I love that the last pic is snow-capped mountains!)
