June 14th, Father's Day in Victoria, BC

Sunday, we were up with the dawn for another early morning ferry ride as we celebrated father’s day in Victoria, BC. We spent a beautiful morning at Butchart Gardens (more of a Mother’s day treat for Laura, but David was a good sport and enjoyed it, too). Becca’s favorites were the sunken gardens, while Susannah really enjoyed the Japanese garden. Laura loved it all and wanted pictures and names of every flower, tree and shrub. She almost went over the edge of the wall chasing a green speckled newt. David’s favorite was the magnificent “huge” copper beech tree.
We spent the rest of the afternoon walking Victoria’s shop lined inner harbor streets and China town, where we had a great dinner.

Quote of the day: “Buddha has man-boobs” (thank you, Seinfeld). A chinatown observation of all the many Buddha’ s on display…
