Victoria BC

We had a nice little holiday to Victoria BC this past week with Leif's parents. Victoria is the capital of British Columbia and is located on Vancouver Island. We took a ferry ride (probably the hightlight of Christian's trip) over to the island on Tuesday and returned on Thursday.

These are views from our hotel suite. We stayed right on the marina - the kids loved watching for the sea planes to land.

This is the Capitol building. The city is a nice, romantic little town - very European in feel; much like being in the English country side. We toured it via a double decker bus (another big hightlight for Christian).

We also took a tour of the Craigdarroch Castle... Campbelle was so excited to visiting her first castle (it is where she wants to live someday, you know) and from the outside was very much impressed. The inside, however, was a little less pink, princessey and frilly than what she was anticipating. I'm sure her castle will be decorated very differently!

The trip was fantastic - a great little getaway only a few hours from home.
