Kiera and Riley: Victoria

Last week we spent a few days in Victoria for a family get-away. We enjoyed walks and parks by the ocean side, some of our favorite restaurants, and just some relaxing time together away from it all.

It is getting harder for me to carry Kiera these days, but sometimes only Mommy will do.

We discovered a park at Cadboro Bay with huge sculptures to play on. Captain Kiera had lots of fun playing on the ship and then playing her favorite game, hide and go seek around the sea-serpent.

If you are in Victoria, give some of our favorite restaurants a try: Ferris's Grill, Mo:le (the Chinatown bun is yummy for breakfast), and of course, the Rebar where they serve great vegetarian fare, yummy chocolate cake from Cascadia Bakery, and they will even bring a dinosaur to your table to play with!

We caught the Titanic exhibit just before it closed at the Royal BC Museum. Upon entering, you were issued a boarding pass as one of the actual passengers. Kiera was fortunate to be among the survivors, but Ken and I were not so lucky. The Titanic exhibit was very well done, but the animal exhibits were Kiera's favorite.
