Happy Birthday Candy!
On August 5th, Candy celebrated her 50th
Birthday. We were up at 5:30 AM and out
the door at 6:30 AM. We loaded up and
made the hour drive to Port Angeles to catch the 8:15 AM fairy departure. It worked out well, we got there just around
7:40 AM. We found parking then headed in
to get our tickets. We also included a
bus ride and entry into The Butchart
Gardens. The fairy ride over was 90
minutes and not being seaworthy folks, the time went pretty quick as we gawked
out the windows. 
When we arrived in
Victoria we made our way to the bus for the 30 minute ride out to Butchart
Gardens. The Bus driver provided a little
history of some of the buildings, street names, etc.
Wow is all I can say.
The Butchart Gardens were pretty amazing. I took so many pictures of all the
landscapes, gardens, flora, it was pretty cool what this family had done. You can find all the pictures here:
We spent about two hours walking through the gardens and
then we grabbed a bus back to downtown.
We walked around and found a place to have lunch. Then we walked about 5 blocks to a quilt shop
that had a row by row. We stopped into
a few antique shops and looked around as we made our way back. We stopped into the Empress Hotel and walked
through. Pretty amazing old hotel.
We boarded the Fairy back to Port Angeles at 7:30 PM. It was about 10:30 PM, when we got back to
the house. All in all I think Candy had
a pretty great day for her Birthday. I
know I did.
