Victoria Weekend

So this weekend I went to Victoria for my dad's 50th birthday. My parents had a timeshare right by downtown but it didn't have room for everyone so my brothers and I stayed at my aunt's house. I traveled over to Victoria Friday afternoon.

Saturday morning we all got together and went to the beach strip between the lagoon and the ocean by Royal Roads University. We played a game of log tag even though the logs were pretty slippery. Log tag is like normal tag except you can only walk on the logs.

Later we went to Beacon Hill park. We were riding everywhere in the new bus my dad just got for his school. It was useful because we had nine people, but it was often hard to find a spot to park.

In the park we went to a park bench and my brother got out his laptop to show my dad the birthday present we made for him. My siblings and I created a video where we play our younger selves and were thanking him for all the fun times. It mostly focused on all the amazing vacations we've been on, traveling and camping across the province.

After the park we went back to the time share which has this view of the shore of the city...not usually with a bird.

That night we went to the Sticky Wicket for dinner. It wasn't that far away so we walked there.

The food was pretty good. Some of my dad's friends were there.

My whole immediate family was there too.

We walked back to the time share along the water by the lit up parliament buildings.

We had some delicious black forest cake at the time share and everyone
watched the video we made.

On Sunday we went for a walk around the park near my aunt's house.

My sister found a tree fort and climbed up into it. Shortly after we all drove to the ferry in the bus, some of us headed for the mainland and some for Saturna.

It was a pretty relaxing weekend and my dad quite enjoyed the video we had made. We all did a good job thinking up interesting scenes for it and my brother did an excellent job editing it.
