Craigdarrough Castle which sits high above Victoria. It's claim to fame besides beeing 100 years old, it was in the movie X-Men II. Sure enough we watched the movie the other night and it is indeed in the movie.

At Craigdarrough Castle, Dayna attempted her Junior Miss song on the piano, but it was severely out of tune.

We did see a few totem poles.

The boar statue was quite popular and I had to wait in line to take this photo. Do you think it was worth it?

Butchart family private garden. The gardens are a tour bus mecca, but we were early enough in the day that it wasn't too bad. They also have the gardens illuminated at night and fireworks in the summer.

Dayna's idea to immitate the statue. Not sure who that is, but maybe Mr. Stanley.

Walking along the wharf in Vancouver. We don't get to see float planes much, but there was a lot of action with these.

Dayna is enjoying our Marriott Rewards welcome gift! It doesn't get much better than this.
