The last week entailed a fun trip up to Victoria, British Columbia to meet some of my families closest friends who were visiting. We spent a long weekend there, travelling to Edmonds for the ferry to Kingston and then a ferry to Port Angeles (having a look at where twilight was filmed because why not) and eventually reaching Victoria. We stayed in North Saanich, just north Victoria on Vancouver Island, in the most insanely beautiful house which was surrounded by miles and miles of trees overlooking Canada and the surrounding islands. Most of the weekend was filled with exploring the island, going to sidney and some of the towns on the coast, seeing Victoria, dowtown, Beacon Hill park and Fisherman’s warf. Most of the mornings and evenings though were spent enjoying the house, because of the view it had and how quiet the surrounding area was. After making our way back down to Seattle after the island hopping journey home, the rest of their week here was spent travelling around Seattle…
Many mornings were spent drinking tea in the sun here and the at night we’d watch the sun go down whilst making dinner.
We went for breakfast at a diner on Queen Anne Avenue, and then went over to Alki Beach, one of my favourite places in Seattle, and spent a few nights at Golden Garden’s park (my all time fave).
We also went to Discovery Park, walked over to Kerry park for an obligatory picture overlooking the space needle and water, went into downtown and stopped off at the Pink door (has the best food and Italian inspired interior so I’m sold there). There was also other things we got up to, I had my first ever s’more which isn’t that exciting but I couldn’t have a summer in America without trying one…
