This is Gonna be fun. So for this long weekend we are flying into Seattle, and then Headed over to Victoria. My good friend from Chicago, Jason is Flying in with his lovely wife Liz to vacation with us.
Day one we picked up Jason and liz from the airport and head off to the Seattle Space needle. The view from up there was incredible, the food was good, But as all food in seattle, over priced. After Lunch we dropped off our stuff at the historic Camlin hotel, and decided to go shopping.
Ashleigh still has her oregon license which means in Washington we don't pay sales tax, and wouldn't you know it Seattle had a LUSH store(if you have never tried their products if you like you wallet being fat Stay away, but if you are up to indulge the walk in) Needless to say i dropped a couple hundred dollars in that store.
For dinner we had decided to take the recommendation of the concierge at the hotel and Jason and Liz treated us to a nice Sushi Dinner. 'Editors note Sake goes well with Sushi'
Day 2:
4am in the morning, are you frickin kidding who planned this... oh yeah that would be me. If you ever goto victoria remember that it is after all and Island, and to get there you are subject to the ferry schedule. We took the Washington State ferry to Sidney on Vancouver Island.
Let me just say that the Worldmark in Victoria has one of the nicest locations that I have ever seen, its right on the harbor, we were totally spoiled.
Victoria is an amazing city, it gets my top vote for a summer home when I retire. The superior Restaurant just across from the resort has some of the best food you will ever eat, but it is a little pricey, and the portions are small. Victoria is a fun city to walk around and relax in, it is the 2nd most relaxing vacation that I have taken(alaskan Cruise is #1).
The sunsets are to die for!
Day 3:
Butchart Gardens: These are by far the nicest gardens that I have ever been to in my life, well worth the price, the underwater sea gardens in Victoria is a waste of time.
Back to Butchart, Jason decided that it would e a cool picture if Liz tried doing a hand Stand, since she was wearing a dress she was worried about staying modest. Jason promised that he would hold her dress up for her, as she went upside down Liz immediately realized the folly of this, as she had to hold her top half in " JASON JASON, MY BOOBS ARE FALLING OUT" lucky for Liz she did react fast and was not exposed.

Day 4: Ashleigh and I dropped Jason and Liz off at the airport, our time coming to an end. We stayed with Rachel and Nathan Ash's Sister and got to visit with our very cute nieces and Nephew.
Day 5: Fly home and goto work! I love my job!
P.S. I should mention I'l bet you are wondering about the sleazy mustache! Well it was Mustache Mayhem, so everyone (that was cool) grew a mustache for may and we had T-shirts made up, and gave the leftover money to the charity Wish to Reality.
