Our brief visit to Victoria was absolutely amazing, it was glorious and relaxing and I think it just may have been about a thousand times better than Vegas would have been. I took millions of photos, here are a few of my favorites:

Leaving Port Angeles on the Coho ferry.

JB reading on the boat.

The fancypants Empress hotel; we stayed here.

Hooray for Lush! There is actually a Lush store in my neighborhood mall now, but shopping at Lush in Canada is way cooler.

High tea at the Empress, and holy SHIT this was good.

Random Canadian dog. He’s tied up ootside.

An Otter floatplane we took a half hour flight on.

I’m on a plane, bitches! Wooo! Uh, where’s the barf bag?

Gorgeous from all angles.

An honest-to-god, no-fucking-kidding bald eagle, just being all picturesque and shit.

Seriously, how much do you want to move to this place?

Leaving the Kingston ferry on our way back to Seattle.

Sunset.

“Are we there yet”? The boy, up way past his bedtime, on our way home.
Many more photos here.
Happy Mother’s Day to you, if you’re a mom-type-person. JB has been informed that “not understanding” that this is now a holiday requiring some legwork on his part isn’t really acceptable, and if we hadn’t just returned from a fabulous vacation there would be some Dire Consequences for this gaffe. Luckily, the boy got me a lovely card, sort of, which I wrote about over at ClubMom.

Well, I think this thing has officially gone live so it must be okay to share: my new ClubMom blog, Purple Is a Fruit.
Please stop by! It’s totally fresh and new and…um, okay, it’s pretty much this page exactly. Except with ads. And a goobery picture of me. But also: donuts!
And for your viewing pleasure, a baby with a washcloth on his head:
