Today, was my birthday and I woke up in Victoria!

At a really lovely beach on the coast, driving back to the ferry terminal. The sun came out for a bit which was lovely and warm!

The largest piece of seaweed we have ever seen! Crazy long!


Another self photo. We never get photos together! But look at the beautiful back ground! Lovely.


On the ferry ride home. I was caught mid bite of a shared egg sandwich from the cafeteria. Look at how sunny it was! It was gorgeous today! Perfect day for a birthday!


Almost home, but what a lovely two days together. It definitely did not feel like groundhog day for the two past days. It was nice to spend time with Cliff and just 'Husband and Wife'. And not as 'Mom and Dad.' It was much needed this get away. We will always remember this weekend as a great time to re-connect. That is a good thing! I can tell you though. I cannot lie. I really missed the kids. We both did. And we were really glad to come home. We look forward to a thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, and to be woken by the kids! We cannot wait to find out how their weekend was!

Happy Belated!!! What a nice treat to get away as husband and wife...it's nice not to have to call your hubby Daddy for a weekend. It rejuvenates the marriage and the spirit. You guys look like you had such a wonderful time. You deserved the get away.

I loved the Titanic too - it's almost over now so I'm glad you got a chance to see it.
