We spent Thanksgiving in Canada.
We took the Clipper from Seattle to Victoria on Thursday morning. It was a 3-hour trip and probably the worst possible weather - there was actually a gale warning. Fortunately (and surprisingly), I didn't get sick and slept through most of it.
We spent our three days in Victoria strolling the downtown area - mainly eating and shopping. We quickly became obsessed with Jam Cafe and ate brunch there three out of our four mornings. We've never done that before. We're usually ones to try a new place for each meal, but Jam Cafe definitely deserved a three-peat.

We rented a car on Friday to see a little more of Vancouver Island. We took the scenic route to The Butchart Gardens, which was beautiful. The gardens were incredible - a definite must-see.
