Island Time Two

What a wonderful get-away! Family, ocean, flowers still in bloom, and leaves still on the trees! So much prettier than Alberta's dead, brown, landscape.
Our trip included walking along the Galloping Goose, driving up island to Chemanius, and west to Jordan River to watch the surfers. Surfing at the end of October just blows my mind....especially in Canada! And of course, we spent a day at Butchart Gardens....so lovely. I could spend some time there every day if geography permitted.
W did quite will in the adult world. He is such a good traveller. Sat on my knee through the whole flight. Did not try to get down and was even asleep when we laned in Victoria. We only had one casualty at the house....broke the bone in a pottery dog's mouth. Oops! Considering that there was antique china from family in Kentucky at arm's reach & eye level...he did very very well. Yet, I'm so happy to be home in a toddler friendly environment. And even happier to see my favorite husband and sleep in our cozy bed without a little person in the same room.
It's lovely to travel and just as lovely to return.
