Finally made it out to the Island over the long weekend. Rented a car, took a ferry and drove an additional 30 min to Victoria, BC. It's about a 2 1/2 hour trip all together and can cost quite a bit of tree house dollars. Don't let the Ferry website fool you, the 15$ reservation fee is exactly that, just a reservation fee, you have to let the trip itself be part of the experience. It's a nice little spot though, once you get there, ideal place to take your Grandparents I'd say. Great location to take the scenic route along the shoreline and visit parks and gardens, so, that's what we did. Lesley Todd got us a family and friend's deal at the Fairmont Empress and the hotel itself was probably one of the highlights. Perfectly located right on the water between downtown shopping and the Victoria Parliament Buildings. Not a bad little getaway, not bad at all.

Checked out the old Victoria Skatepark.
Fed the seals at Oak Bay Marina.
Hanging out with the ducks in Beacon Hill Park.
That's all for today, byeeeee.
