Canada

So last weekend I went with 5 other people to Victoria. It was an amazing experience to say the least. I went with a couple old friends and a couple new friends. We went on a one night - 2 day trip starting out on Friday morning at 5am (but it was more like 5:30am due to a "sleeper-inner") Tayler and I had this great idea to bring a big suitcase to put our backpacks in to pretend we had overpacked because we had been told we would have to carry our stuff around with us all day....this wasn't as funny to some people as we had thought it would be. So, we loaded up the Durango and started on our way to Port Angeles, WA to catch a ferry. We barely made it to the ferry...but we were on our way. The first day we visited Hatley Castle (Lex's mansion from Smallville), the wax museum, ate dinner outside at a local pub, visited Chinatown (here we saw the smallest alley in the world), went to a really cool coffee shop, and ended the night off with a Ghostly Walk which toured us all around the city as we heard stories about real people. It was so much fun just hanging out with friends and getting to know eachother. I LOVE getting to know new people and figuring out what they are all about and what they are passionate about and where they have come from. We were awaken that night around 2am to the fire alarm going on and off for about 40 minutes....this was not ok with me. The next day we woke up and went to coffee at Coffee Art which was pretty cool then we went to Tea Time at the White Heather Tea Room. This was amazing!! The tea was incredible along with the yummy treats. From here we went to the BC museum, walked around in the Empress, ate lunch at a local cafe, did a little bit of shopping and finished off our trip by touring the Parliament building.
It was interesting how everyone's personalities meshed together, or sometimes against eachother. I know there were times where I definately should have kept my mouth shut, but sometimes I just couldn't help it. For that Jammie, I am sorry :) But overall, this was such a fun trip and I wouldn't change it for the world. This is one part of being single that makes it all worth it...being able to just go on a weekend trip with 5 other people and not worrying about anything. I can't wait to go to Victoria again, or anywhere for that matter with maybe a few old friends...and hopefully some new friends too.
