Deer live near our rental home - and come out every morning and night. We've seen mommas, babies and papas and we are not in a rural area at all! Friday morning - early start and off to downtown Victoria to check things out. A few of our group went on a whale watching trip, which they said was amazing, but Chris & I and a few others stayed in town.
This city is so beautiful! Love the buildings.
1st thing - pick up registration
Then check out the cars :) Lined up and down all the streets. The show is on Sunday only, but hot rods take over the town for a few days before and after the event
Our friend from South Carolina - love the patina
After we toured a little, we took a water taxi to Fisherman's wharf for lunch
The weather was perfect - sunny and low 70's
We get a nice harbor tour too
Lots of fun restaurants to choose from
and the houseboats are so pretty - with all the bright colored paints
We walked back to town - looking at cars the whole way :)
The host hotel always has a beautiful line up
The Legislature building is so beautiful
and the beautiful flowers are everywhere
Even though we were full from lunch, we stopped to get some ice cream - with amazing toppings
One of the downtown buildings is getting rebuilt, but they are keeping the exterior. It looks like quite the project
The Empress hotel has an amazing greenhouse/conservatory
and more beautiful flowers
Now it's time for sangria!!
and then a little more sightseeing
Then back to the rental house
to chill for a while
What a lovely view from the deck
Then it was dinner time! We've got a big group! Lucky we found a place to hold us all :)
