Vacation Part 2: Victoria

On our first full day in British Columbia, we decided to do something touristy and take the kiddos on the harbor ferry and see if the seals were around Fisherman's Wharf.  Being that we don't live on the ocean, just going on the ferry ride was such a great treat for the kids!  These little passenger ferries go all over the Victoria Harbor, which also doubles as a landing strip for the sea planes.  And although the planes were exciting, the kids were just happy to be hanging out with Nani and Papa!

The harbor is also home to several communities of house boats... which are more "house" than "boat".

At Fisherman's Wharf we bought some lunch and some treats for the seals (read: dead fish) and waited to see if they would show their cute little faces.

We didn't have to wait long, because for as fat as those seals are... apparently they are always hungry! 

 

After that it was back on the ferry and a quick walk around the waterfront before heading home.  It never ceases to amaze me at what a beautiful city Victoria is!
