As a side note: Could Hilary be any cuter and trendier? I am inspired.
Could this town be any cuter? Answer is a definite "no!".
I really love aquariums, and had fun learning about the sea creatures common to this coast. Fascinating!
We walked over a mile to tour the Craigdarroch castle, and it was a highlight for me. It was so beautiful. When I told Bronwyn and Magdalen about it they kept asking if it was a real story, or if I was making it up. :) Hopefully I will be able to take them there someday. I really think I would have LOVED being a privileged young woman of the early 1900s. Apparently they were encouraged to pursue music and play billiards all day. I'll take it!
We capped off the day driving up the mountains of Olympic National Park to watch the meteor shower. I have always been a pretty big, night-sky enthusiast. I have always loved getting up watch meteor showers and just star gaze in general. Somehow we lucked out and had a completely cloudless sky. The stars were amazing, and totally worth the drive even without the meteor shower. We didn't see as many meteors as I thought/hoped we would, but I'm estimating we saw at least 30. Not too shabby.
Dave and I spent our honeymoon in Victoria. Your photos made me nostalgic!
