Let’s Play Tourist…

Yesterday I spent a wonderful day with my middle daughter, Maggie!  We had arranged to meet in front of the Empress Hotel at 10am…so of course I was early.  It was a great chance to take a few pictures while I waited… so I thought I’d share some of those photos of Victoria and the Inner Harbour!!  It is such a beautiful city!

Victoria is well known for it’s flowers……and even though it’s Fall, Victoria didn’t disappoint!!   GORGEOUS!!
