OK, So I decided that it was time for a break. The company had two record setting months in a row, and yeah I am going to take some of the credit and decided I needed a break.

So, with the Wife and the In Laws, we jetted up to Victoria...

OK We Ferried it up to Victoria and lemme tell ya, RSD has been holding out. Victoria isn't pretty it's fuggin Beautiful, Truly a Wonderful place.

And then, it got better, the roads are smooth and 19 up to Port McNiel is an awesome drive.

-Lets start with a couple from Washington... Took the Inlaws up to the Cascades...
So, No Comments here for a minute or two so I can give ya'll a little Photo-journal, cool?

Actually helped one of the little ones across the road, it got startled and just froze in the middle of the road.

Another, They were just too cute, but it made the drive more than worthwhile.

BUT, I didn't make the Reservations... The mother in Law did... SO we stayed here Instead, the Strathcona or whatever the hell.

Nice enough just for one night, and about $100 less a night than the Empress.

This is in downtown Victoria, behind the Moving van on the corner is the Sticky Wicket Pub, I fell in love with the hostess and the Waitresses, both of them...

I recommend the Bangers N Mash... Best I've had since being in the UK.

Lots to do in the Inner Harbor, beautiful place. The Building with the Columns is a Wax Museum, kinda fun to visit, entertaining...

We didn't hit the Underwater Garden in the forground, but we hit the Bug Museum and it was very cool.

Government buildings.... Umm... Parliment or something... Hell I was Drunk... If you're ever in Victoria stop by the sticky wicket Pub. Sexy Waitresses, good food, good drinks.

Now the Strathcona wasn't fancy, in fact it was very simple, but I did have a decent view...

OK, Next day we were off to Port McNiel and Alert Bay.

These aren't the best pictures of the road running the length of Vancouver but take my word for it, 19 North is empty, wide, smooth and twisty...

OK my first view of Alert bay and I gotta say, what beautiful little fishing Village.
