On Tuesday morning, we drove to the Ferries outside Vancouver. This was probably the highlight for Carter. He loved being on the huge boat, couldn't stop talking about it for the rest of the trip.
"We went on a HUGE boat and you put your car on the boat cuz it's so HUGE and we looked for killer whales and dolphins but we didn't see any on the HUGE boat". That's basically every conversation he had with anyone for the next few days. It was cute.

Once we got to the island, we drove to our hotel in Victoria and just chillaxed for a bit. Then we went downtown and saw some sights. The wharf was really neat with all the boats docked there. Double decker buses. The Legislature grounds. Street performers festival. Lots to see and do.
The next morning, we went to Beacon Hill Park. There was a little farm there with so many animals that you could pet. This was the highlight for Hayley - the 'animal lover' in her really came out. She loved all the baby goats and squealed in delight the entire time.

Then, we spent some time at Oak Bay beach. We saw so many jellyfish and crabs. We discovered that every single rock we turned over would have little hermit crabs scurrying out. Carter loved that. He was so scared of the jellyfish, though. Even the dead ones. I think we have Finding Nemo to blame for that.

I'm from BC and yet have never been to the island. I've only been to Vancouver once too.
