A Special Journey

The day that I arrived in beautiful Victoria, BC, I had a welcome lunch to attend quickly for work. After that I went to my room to shower and change. My family asked me to text them when I would be coming out of the hotel. Which I did. Little did I realize that they were on the grounds because as I walked out to the sidewalk, I heard 2 voices calling 'Nanny......Nanny' and of course that is what the twins call me. They were quickly racing towards me, followed by their parents and my husband. It was a beautifully sunny and warm day. My son had planned the afternoon to a T. We crossed the street, and descended the stairs to the water level, where we bought our water taxi tickets. This would allow us a quick and relaxing ride over to Fisherman's Wharf. At Fisherman's Wharf, they had lunch, which I already had, but I was able to treat the babies to ice cream, and do a bit of souvenir shopping. We saw a sea lion as well as a sea otter very close in the water behind the floating shops and restaurants. It was a delightful afternoon, feeling the warmth of the sunshine, after such a long and hard winter, and just really enjoying each other's company. ~Photo is mine
