Trip to Canada!

We had a wonderful 4 day visit to Vancouver Island earlier in August. Mama and Papa showed us many of the same sites they saw 15 years ago for mama's 25th birthday getaway. We explored the beautiful legislature building in downtown Victoria.
We visited the Royal B.C. Museum. It's a huge museum that could have taken us a few days to thoroughly explore. A highlight was panning for gold in their featured Gold Rush Exhibit.
We loved the petting zoo. This goat named Darth Vader was our favorite!
We hiked to explore some beaches along the Strait of Juan de Fuca from our campsite.

Papa was resourceful when Karen got cold on the hike back. 
Fueling up for another day of adventures.
Tough campers! Look at that "stink eye"! 
Exploring trees on a hike. 

Camping along Lake Cowichan on the interior of Vancouver Island. 
Silly time! 
 Ice cream treat in downtown Victoria on our last day.
We had such a special trip! This was Karen and my (Holden's) first time visiting another country.
We saw porpoises, a seal, and jelly fish on our ferry ride back to Port Townsend.
