today was turn around day in seattle. i was on 3rd call and so i took the day and got some great pics of seattle from the ship. this is magnolia hill.

Victoria B.C.

Today we took a ferry from Seattle to Victoria B.C. What a gorgeous day! We had a great time on the ferry. We played a card game called hand and foot the whole way there. I found out I have a great love for that game. I can't wait to play again.

Christy and I on the ferry, just outside of Seattle.

This is Christy and Sharon at our little table on the ferry.

Famous Hotel called 'The Empress' in Victoria. I love the ivy growing on the hotel. The Parliament building in Victoria

My first time at the gardens. Must warn you, tons of pics ahead.....

I thought this next shot was completely appropriate. Jack definitely controls things in our home!

Night shots as we are leaving Victoria. What a great day! It was fantastic! What a great day.

Trying to get some night shots of Seattle from the ferry, but it was so incredibly cold outside that I could not hold my hand steady. This is what we get!
