Happy Thanksgiving to my peeps to the south!
I left Grande Prairie on Thursday afternoon & got to Victoria Saturday night!
OY!
Edmonton & Calgary got a dump of snow, and flights were delayed and/or cancelled!
The airline put us up at a hotel for 2 sleeps, and I made the best of it!
Not dressed for the blizzard, some friends rescued me for Friday afternoon!
This post will be picture heavy, and not a crafty thing in sight, so you can stop reading now if you like!
We went to the Remembrance Day celebration at the parliament building.
There were a lot of uniforms!
Kalen...we're on our way somewhere!
This was a deer on the Naval base.
That's about all I was allowed to take a picture of there!
I got to tour Kalens ship/ which is still being refurbished or something,
and is not on the Navy website yet!
Kalen lives 1 block from the harbor!
You can see the water down there if you look hard!
There were some really cool houses on his street!
This one has got a lot of TLC!
I trotted down to the harbor every morning to watch the float planes!
And the ferries!
And check out the neighborhood watch!
We were on our way to Sydney for Fish on Fifth!
These poor pumpkins were drowning!
This was our ride some of the time!
Yes, I DID sit in the back!
Holly, REAL HOLLY!
My favorite plant in Victoria!
We went to a Salmon Run!
It was sad, but interesting!
LOOKIT!
The Whomping Willow from Harry Potter!
That's a lot of firewood!
Hahahaha, this made me smile!
The Empress still impresses!
And YES, I've had tea there!
We did Dim Sum!
I DID get to Michaels!
We went to Breaking Dawn Part 2!
We went to Spinnakers Brew Pub!
It was a great visit, and I was sad to leave!
The day I left, the ferris wheel was opening downtown.
It was the Santa Claus parade, and there was a wine tasting/ appetizer thingy somewhere!
Look at the ivy covered building!
Now I'm playing catch up at work!
Because my trip was delayed 2 days, I stayed another 2 days!
I'm making Christmas tags for the Stollery Childrens Hospital!
Saturday there's a Christmas Market, and I'm going!
I have to fit in wrapping the water lines this weekend, and getting out the snow people!
And baking....something!
Next week I have 2 meetings and I'm doing Happy Hour at the Old Folks Home!
Better go!
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
