Since the main motive of our trip was so that Michael could go to a conference, we didn't get a whole lot of time to sight see together. On the first day we were there I came down with a stomach virus and was not feeling so great so we just stayed at the hotel. By afternoon time, I was dying to get out and see something so we went out for a little adventure. Michael had done some research and heard about a lighthouse that was relatively close so we decided to drive there and see what it was all about. We love lighthouses (they are quite picturesque, aren't they?) so we jumped at the opportunity.
A few pictures from our time at the Fisgard Lighthouse
The next day Michael was busy during most of the day so I took a walk around Victoria and then in the afternoon we went to the Craigdarroch Castle, which was a few blocks from where we were staying. It was beautiful and we had a very nice tour of the house (it's more of a big house than it is a castle).

There were some beautiful stained glass windows
On day three I had to keep myself busy because Michael was busy most of the day. I knew I could not leave Victoria without seeing the world-famous Butchart Gardens once again. I had been there once before when I was younger and remembered how beautiful it was, even back then. I figured that now I would appreciate it even more (since I'm a mature adult!) I'll leave you with one picture to give you a sneak peak. I took over two-hundred pictures in two hours. So many beautiful flowers, arrangements and breath-taking views. If you ever go to Victoria, B.C. you MUST make a visit. You won't leave regretting it.

Thanks for coming along with us on our trip!

So glad that you made it back safely and that you had such a special and beautiful time in Canada! Sure hope that the stomach disturbance is way gone by now:) Love all the pictures...If I ever get a chance to go to Victoria, I will surely have to visit the gardens...The Lord is so beautiful! :)
Hi Michael and Ann,
Happy Friday to you both!!
I really enjoyed reading all about your trip to Victoria! And the pictures! Yes, it really is a beautiful spot!! We have lots of memories from their. Maybe next time you can drive about 5 hours north and visit Campbell River!!! Now that's a beautiful spot too. Do you remember any of that time when you visited our family on the island Ann???
