Im glad you had a great time! I was in Vancouver about twelve years ago. It was a lovely city. If I had family or friends out that way I would have no qualms picking up and moving there. I have never been to Victoria, but would like to go there someday.

Looks fantastic. We went to Jasper National park in Alberta for our honeymoon 8 years ago and stayed at the Fairmont Chateau Jasper and it was divine. Your photos of the mountains take me back!!

That is one of my favorite places in the world for our family to vacation. We've spent a couple vacations in the San Juans - with day trips to Victoria and Vancouver - in the past. With family living just north of Seattle, it's easy to make an excuse to head up there. LOL

Glad you had such a great time!

When I saw that was one of our planned activities, I have to admit that I was thinking, "Oh, great, dinner at some garden" but when we got there - I was AMAZED!!
I think I walked around with my mouth hanging open in awe at each themed garden.

Also - the place we went Whale Watching was near San Juan. I remember thinking, "What the heck? We're in Puerto Rico?!"

Beautiful, beautiful place.... it was one of my favorite vacations EVER! (did I mention I am typically a Beach-girl!?)

That is so funny! When we went to Buchart it was because my mom was with us and wanted to go. I was like "BORING" in my head. Then I saw how much it cost to get in and I was like "WHAT A WASTE" But By the time we got in and started looking around I was like "Wowie Kazowie - I don't want to leave!" LOL
