Family Time

Rob was home for just under a month, and the time flew by.  With all the busyness of the move we found ourselves in the final days of having him at home.  So we decided a family day was in order.  We drove to Victoria, a little over an hour away to play tourist in the town we once lived.  When the boys were young we loved to walk along the inner harbor to take in the street entertainment.  So this was our first stop, and we had decided to follow it up with a picnic in the park while feeding the ducks. There was much to look at.  There were magic shows, music and artists displaying their talents.  The previous day we had enjoyed temperatures over 30 degrees.  So we headed to Victoria with this in mind bracing ourselves for the warmth.  But that day did not mirror the previous day.  In fact, we were freezing.  The weather dropped to about 18 degrees and was quite windy next to the water.  As chilly as we felt, we still enjoyed the stroll along the picturesque inner harbor of Victoria.  We finished off the day with lunch indoors and strolled the mall instead.
