Jacob's Road Trip Ramblings

On Sunday (7/24), we finally arrived in Vancouver! We got there early, so we actually decided to get on the ferry over to Victoria! That in and of itself was quite an experience. We actually drove our car right onto the ferry, parked it among all the others, and went up on deck. It was such a new and neat mode of transportation. I couldn’t believe that some people actually ferry back and forth every day for work. After checking into the hotel, we drove through the city for a little while, and stopped at a little dessert diner for a bite to eat.



The food was delicious and the city itself was very nice, feeling very much like it has great influence from Vancouver. On Monday we collected our grandparents from the ferry and went to see Butchart Gardens. Oh my goodness, it was the biggest garden I have ever seen! The colors and smells and varieties of all the flowers were overwhelming. Everything there was in bloom, and exquisite. There was a whole section devoted only to roses, and another to only Japanese flora. Well, after the gardens, we drove around the coast of Victoria for a while, then boarded the ferry back to Vancouver for the night.
