Family is visiting from out of town and we're enjoying a week of summer vacation at home. It just happens to be the hottest week (on record) in years. Today it was 38 C outdoors here (that's over 100 F and we have no AC). I'm happy not to be confined to my little sauna of an office.
Here are some of the places we've been:
Victoria B.C.
Butchart Gardens. Absolutely WOW!!
Sunken Gardens
Stunning color combinations everywhere!
Japanese Garden
E. and me being water taxied back to the Inner Harbor
Sharing the waterway with float planes, ready for take-off.
My family (hubby, brother and wife, sister and husband) walking on the Victoria waterfront.
A family wedding
Held up at Eagle Crest Vacation Retreat in Sooke. Wonderful views in all directions!
Seen from one of the balconies.
The bridal procession. All the wedding party was in white except for the bride. She wore green!
This wedding was definitely a family affair. After exchanging their rings, the bride and groom give the groom's 10-year-old daughter a necklace. Now she can call her dad's new bride 'Mom.'
My lovely sis - mother of the bride.
My sis with her twins and new granddaughter.
Three sisters (of the grandma generation).Vancouver
Granville Island - where we had coffee and shared a gooey slab of blueberry coffee cake - yum!
Friends who have bought and are renovating a house in the Mount Pleasant area took us on a walking tour of the neighborhood. On our way past the Davis House (166 - 10th Ave.), someone who lived in one of the units invited us to take a look at the courtyard - all done up with antiques and old fashioned memorabilia.
White Rock
Breakfast with sis-in-law, another sister, and my bro.
Looking down from the pier - tide's coming in.
This might be the first time I'm jealous of a starfish. Ooh, that water looked good!
