Since we weren't suppose to dock in Victoria until 7:00 p.m. we hadn't made any plans. What we ended up with was a pleasant final evening of our vacation. After walking for about 25 minutes, we found ourselves at the back of the Parliament buildings.

The Parliament Buildings of British Columbia, Canada were officially
opened in February 1898. However details, refinishing, additions and
upgrades were ongoing until 1915. The buildings are the official
residence for the B.C. Parliament to pass laws and where the Provincial
Legislative Assembly gather and discuss the direction of the province.
There were numerous memorials for fallen first responders. Search and Rescue:
Paramedics:
Fire Fighters:
Law enforcement:
War Memorial to the Unknown Soldier:
The only picture of just me and Lori! More than one crew member asked us if we were sisters. I gladly claim her!
Victoria is known as the Garden City. The flowers were just beautiful.
I loved these hanging baskets:
We made our way to the front of the building not long before the lights came on.
We finished the evening back on the ship, stretching out our time together as long as possible.
Disembarkation day happened in a blur of breakfast, grabbing our luggage, and goodbye hugs before heading to the airport. We were happy that our flights both getting to Seattle and getting back home were on time and our luggage arrived safely. A good time was had by all!
