Christmas in Victoria

Catching our breath after so much fun.....

We took a last minute, 3-day trip to Victoria B.C. I hadn't really thought of Victoria as a good place to travel with children, but we had so much fun.

We stayed in an amazing suite, at the World Mark hotel where we watched sea planes land and take off.

The parliament building was especially pretty at night, with 3,333 lights.

My Mom, who isn't able to walk much, loved the ride with Archie (the horse) and Kate to view the Christmas lights.

We had to drag my son (after nearly 2 hours) out of the bug museum.

 The beautiful Empress Hotel was decorated with 80 Christmas trees for a charity event.

  And my favorite place was Roberta's Hats on Government Street.

We can't wait to go back in the summer and visit more of the places on our list. Because of time and weather, we didn't get to go the Butchart Gardens.

Such a neat place! I did sew a few quick things for the trip, I'll share them in the next post.
