The Empress Hotel in Victoria, another CP hotel, rooms start at $369.00/night, for a double bed, I asked :)

We were driving to the Ferry at Swartz Bay and I spotted this Catrike while stopped at a stoplight.

The sunken garden at Butchart Gardens, this is the oldest part of the garden and is over 100 years old, believe it or not it was once a limestone quarry and cement factory, the chimney for the cement factory can still be seen in the woods beside this garden.

Another part of the Sunken Garden, you can see some people in a boat cleaning out the pond.

Wow, my first post in almost two months, someone should really slap me. I just haven't been to good with the blog these days, hopefully I'm making up for it with this post. Since the last post Tina and I got married and went on a honeymoon to BC. On August 4th we got married in Porcupine Plain Saskatchewan. On the 6th we left for our mini-honeymoon to BC. We basically went to my parents in Nordegg the first night. The next day we went to Vancouver where we went to the Aquarium in Stanley Park, we were there for a couple of hours and then caught the ferry across to Nanaimo. I showed Tina my parents old house and my Grandparents old house in Nanaimo and then we went on to Courtenay, BC. I got to meet an old friend of mine in Courtenay for a coffee, I haven't seen him since we were 10 or 11 years old. We then drove down to Victoria and spent a day there, the next day we went to Butchart Gardens by Victoria, it was super cool and and well worth the time and money to go see, also it is supposed to be a National Historic site. After the Gardens we took the ferry back to Vancouver and then proceeded to my great aunt and uncle's house in Vernon. That was a long day because we missed several ferries and didn't get to their house until 11:30 that night. The next day we stopped in Banff on the way to Calgary and checked out the Banff Springs hotel. We got into Calgary late and got what I think was the last hotel room in the whole city, we tried several places and they were all booked up. Today we went to the Chinook Mall in Calgary before leaving and then proceeded to drive to Saskatoon. Overall the wedding and everything went really well, I just wish we could have gotten more time off work for driving around. Ride safe and have fun until next time (hopefully soon!)
