Our first day in Victoria began with a scrumptious breakfast, served in the Sun Room.The photos speak for themselves.
While on a nature walk later in the day at Witty's Lagoon, I found a lot of these exquisite wild flowers blooming by the side of the path. My Mom said she used to call them "lamb tongues", but their real name is "glacier lily".
I just had to visit Craigdarroch Castle again! The price, along with everything else, has gone up to $13.99 each. To find out more about this lovely castle, please visit HERE.

The Parliament Buildings at night; the lights were turned on again after "Earth Hour".

Hi Loretta,
I'm so happy I've stopped by tonight. I've been to Victoria many times and my favorite castle is Craigdarroch! Did you know a portion of the newer movie Little Women was filmed on the staircase? They have added so much more to the home since the last time I was there. Did you go to the Tudor Museum and the Miniature World? We always stay at a bed and breakfast called Abigails. It's a small fortune to stay there, that's for sure. I was happy to see all the familiar places again!
You are rolling dice over on my blog at Dollyopoly. You might like all the dolls I'm showing. Some are from my visit to the Bellevue Doll Museum but most are mine.
This is such a beautiful place. Thanks for all the beautiful pictures. I will have Lindsey email you and tell you about the papers. Have a wonderful Easter weekend! Twyla
