A Wee bit of Photos from Our British Columbia Trip - August 2011

[creagdhubh]

Greetings!

Much to our chagrin, our wonderful trip up to the beautiful Pacific northwest has come to a close. My lovely wife, Stephanie, my mother-in-law, Beverly Robertson, and I first traveled up from our home of Cincinnati, OH to Seattle, WA, then further north to Vancouver and Victoria, BC, for a last minute summer getaway - a much welcomed "getaway" from the midwestern heat and humidity!

We had a superb time, and being in British Columbia (my third time there), I naturally wore Highland dress for a couple of days out of our week long trip. The photos below were taken in a variety of places to include: Vancouver, Grandville Island, Victoria, Surrey, and I believe one was taken on a BC ferry when we departed from Tsawwassen for Swartz Bay, Vancouver Island, en route to Victoria.

Unfortunately, we were unable to schedule a meet and greet with our very own forum owner, Steve Ashton, in Victoria, but rest assured Steve, Stephanie and I shall return, and the next time our focus shall be almost entirely on Victoria and the greater Vancouver Island region...so beautiful! Many thanks to those Xmarks members who live in British Columbia, and offered kind hospitality - our trip was rather brief, "off-the-cuff," and very spontaneous. Next time, we shall be sure to coordinate appropriately well in advance!

Enjoy the photos...

Delicious fish n' chips (no peas though) at fisherman's wharf, Victoria.
