Victoria Trip

On the Wednesday and Thursday before Thanksgiving, we had to take a quick trip to Victoria for Rick's job. He was celebrating 30 yrs of service with a free trip and  dinner at government house. It was a fun, but very quick trip. It took us 8 hours to get there , with the ferry trip included,  and we found it quite a lot of driving to turn around and drive home the next  day. We had family commitments in Penticton on Friday and couldn't extend our Victoria trip by another day. The weather was beautiful for the trip over and we had a great time.
