Victoria, BC day 1

Jeremy and I went to Victoria for our anniversary. SO our adventure actually started Friday night when I get off work and read my email. It says:

Dear Victoria Clipper Passenger,

 A strong storm front is expected to arrive in this area sometime tomorrow. We are currently monitoring the weather to determine if it will require the cancellation of the Victoria Clipper service.  At this time it appears that we may need to cancel the 8:00 AM Seattle to Victoria service for Saturday morning, but storms do not always come through as strong as forecasted.  We will be monitoring the weather throughout the night and will make a determination early Saturday morning.  We will send out an email advisory by 6:30 AM Saturday morning advising of the status of the 8:00 AM service and our phone lines will be open at 6:00 AM.

 In the event that we do cancel, passengers who are scheduled on this departure will be transferred via motor coach from Seattle to Victoria.  Please check in at the Victoria Clipper terminal as early as 6:30 AM so that we can expedite your check in process and boarding of the motor coaches.

 What in the Heck! Okay anyways lets go with it. We get a call at 9pm and they did cancel the Clipper for sure.  We got up at 4:30am to leave by 6:15am

By Clipper see you on the way home.

Here is our bus

They did serve us breakfast

Imagine That... Jeremy's sleeping!!!

Ferry Terminal

Before we got on the Ferry we had some lunch and of course Starbucks. It is still only 10:30am

The water looks nice but is it really

Playing Canasta to pass the time.

Okay maybe not so nice water... I did not lose it but I was really close.

more Canasta

Finally in Victoria!!! It is only 1:15pm. Long day already

Ready to take a nap. But no such thing. We still have a couple hours before the Museum closes.

The Legislative Building is just a block away from our hotel. It was huge.

Royal BC Museum

We were offered a free behind the scenes tour. We got to see where they catalog the bugs and animals. The tour took about 30 minutes.

After the Museum we went to Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner.

Jeremy had Baby Back Ribs and Spaghetti

I had Lasagna

After our long day we went back to our room and put on our swimsuits and we into the hot tub. We relaxed in the hot tub for 20 minutes and then I was ready for bed. The day was really long but we had fun. Can't wait for day 2.
