I'm about half way through my training and last weekend that meant friends and family got to come and visit. I was so pumped to see Simon and Eleyse. If you know them at all you know what I mean. They're pretty awesome. It was a great weekend and we definitely covered some British Columbian ground. My legs hurt just thinking about it. The first day we hopped on a ferry and headed over to Victoria, the capital of British Columbia.
The first stop was the Butchart Gardens. They were impressive even for a girl who doesn't appreciate flowers like she should, and dad kept getting ideas to spruce up the back yard.
The Parliament building downtown.
The oldest lighthouse in BC
Great sunset on the ferry at the end of a long day.
The Next day we did some whale watching. It took us a while (hours) to find those whales...but it was worth it when we finally did
Then, we walked all over downtown doing a little exploring and shopping:
The last day, we were so tired that we just had some quality hang out time which was great. We did manage to find a Purdy's ice cream bar. Seriously, if you eat one, you will become addicted. They're made with magic.
Mom and Dad also did a good job spoiling me (let the only child cliches begin). This famous chocolate pie was handled with care in mom's carry on. Wait didn't I just do a post about food...woops.
Love you Mom and Dad. Thanks for a great weekend. Let's do it again soon.
