Glenn had a thesis defense on Vancouver Island in Victoria. He asked us if we wanted to join him for the trip over - sounded great - so off we went.
Kayley packed her bag.
And off we went to the ferry. I had remembered the shops at the ferry dock as a little more interesting than they actually were. But we did find great cupcakes.
The trip to Vancouver Island is gorgeous. The boat winds between lots of islands. For Kayley, there was a children's play area, and even better, an arcade.
Here's a few outdoor family shots.
In Victoria we got a hotel suite. Kayley got her bed (a fold out cot) in the same room as Krysty and Glenn. I'm not so sure about Krysty and Glenn, but Kayley was delighted.
The next morning, Glenn went off to the defense, and Krysty, Kayley, Charlie and I went to see a bug museum. They really had nifty bugs, but given that they were out and climbing on people, didn't appear to be to nifty to Kayley.
Kayley took one look at the huge stick insect and asked to go "outside". We did wander through, quickly, but Kayley found nothing that wasn't scary. So we went to a museum across the street, a miniature museum. Now, this WAS nifty. Lots of buttons to push, (good for adults too)
but Kayley's favorite exhibit is below
You could push a button in the booth, and the phone would sing different nursery rhymes.
A few Victoria scenes outside of the museum
Glenn returned, and we drove back to the ferry and eventually back to Vancouver.
