Buchart Gardens

What an amazing day we had today. I heard many good things about Buchart Gardens but it far met my expectation. We began our day taking a ferry ride over to Victoria and that view alone was amazing. Conor and I enjoyed watching the sea lions jump in and out of the water while we waited to board the ferry. I cannot even begin to describe the beauty of the flowers and gardens. Some of the spectatular gardens we walked through were an Italian garden, a Japanese garden, a Sunken garden, and a Rose garden. We did not stay until dark, but we were told that at night the entire park is lit up by beautiful colored lights shining on the plants, and they conclude the night with fireworks. We will definitely go back to experience the night show another time. We had a wonderful day and on our drive back Nanny got to see her snow capped mountains. What another spectacular site to end our day.
