Last weekend, Ry and I took the opportunity to visit Victoria, BC. What a great trip! We took a passenger cruise directly from B'ham through the San Juan islands to Victoria. Along the way, we saw Orca whales, porpoises, and various other marine wildlife. The weather was amazing, Victoria is in the "banana belt" of WA and BC, so we got our long needed vitamin D (Bellingham has been dismal since last fall). We stayed in a cheapo motel (but great location) for 3 days, 2 nights - perfect for this trip. We visited Buchart gardens, the Parliament bldgs, the Empress Hotel, Craigadarroch Castle, Fisherman's wharf, the Royal BC Museum, and a few other neat sites. Check out our photos here.
**If anyone wants a two-for-one cruise ticket on the cruise that leaves from Bellingham, just let me know! I have a coupon that lasts from now through mid-September.
