I started the morning off with a bright cup of coffee and a delicious muffin at a coffee shop, Elysian Coffee, by our hotel in Vancouver, and ended the day with a sunset walk along the water in Victoria. #hashtagblessed.
In all seriousness, though, this has been a beautiful short trip. I’m so grateful to get to see so much of the world around me and spend time with my family while I do it.
We took the ferry (with our car!) out to Victoria today, which is the capital of British Columbia. It was a gorgeous day, and the clouds cleared as our ferry scooted through the islands towards Victoria. The downtown here is bright and bustling, with lots to see and lots to do. We did a bunch of walking around the city area, ate lunch on a patio overlooking the inner harbor, explored the shops (and found a bookstore and many coffee shops, as per usual), and took an evening stroll through a different part of the city to the cliff walk by the water. The sun was setting on the bay, and you could even see across the water to the daunting snow-capped mountains. We’ve got another packed day planned for tomorrow, as we leave Victoria and head back to Vancouver in the evening to celebrate my sister’s birthday. I leave Vancouver on Tuesday, which is WAY TOO SOON!!!
And a very happy Father’s Day to this wonderful dad!!!
