Alaskan Cruise, Part 6: Victoria

Our last stop before we got back to Seattle was Victoria, Canada. We didn't dock until 8:00 that night, so we had another whole day on the ship. The kids' favorite part of the trip was definitely being on the boat, so they were happy campers. It helps that they had hot fudge sundaes on demand.

We spent a lot of that day playing Mafia with all fourteen of us. That was a blast! 

Braden made an excellent narrator.

Dinner before Victoria. 

Finally we were able to get off and explore. We walked quite a ways to the "inner harbor."

It was a beautiful evening to walk around. After being in Alaska for several days, it was nice having some warmer weather. 

The kids were all excited to be in a different country. I think this was the first time any of them had been to Canada.

Victoria was very beautiful.

The girls and I really loved all of the amazing flowers around the city.

Victoria is home to The Butchart Gardens, but we didn't have time to see them, so we were happy that there were so many flowers by the harbor.

The historic Empress Hotel is also right by the harbor.

There were a few street performers that we walked by. This fire eating lady was pretty fascinating to watch! After that we headed back to the ship because we had a long day coming up...
