We took the girls to Victoria for the weekend which unfortunately meant we missed all the Gabriola festivities this weekend but I think we would miss something great here no matter when we went!  We stayed at a downtown hotel which made it so easy to get around on foot with the kids.  On Saturday morning we took the girls to the Imax at the Royal British Columbia Museum and watched “Under the Sea” on the huge screen.  Aylan loved the movie, asking so many questions while her sister fell asleep in my lap:)  After the movie we explored the museum for about an hour which was as long as the girls had the attention for.  Once we finished we walked around Victoria and had lunch at a great fish and chips stand called “Red Fish Blue Fish” which is close to the sea plane terminal in downtown Victoria.  We spent time wandering through Beacon Hill park which is so beautiful in the spring and watched as the girls and our dog Dexter ran around, great way to tire everybody out.  It was a wonderful weekend but so nice to come home to our home, city lots seem so small when you come from an acreage on Gabriola.
