Day 5 FInds Us Still In Victoria

This was definitely a mother/daughter trip.

Breakfast was at West Coast Waffles, then off to do a little more shopping.  Yes, I bought yarn.

Inside the BC Parliament Building.  It is just spectacular!

My purple girl!

After our visit to the Parliament Building we went back to the hotel for a little pampering at the spa and then went upstairs for High Tea before our ferry left at 6 that night.

The World Curling Federation was having a meeting at our digs!

Happy Stitching!
