Wow, those gardens are gorgeous! In my family, my mom has the green thumb, and I wish I could grow half of what she grows in her yard.

I can't believe how beautiful all those plants are...they probably look even better in person, which I just couldn't even imagine!

Gorgeous pictures! I visited Victoria, B.C. when I was 20, and for the life of me, I can't remember if we visited Butchart Gardens or not!! Obviously, I need to go back!

I am officially jealous - that was the one part that I just couldn't squeeze into this vacation. Hopefully, if we do another Alaskan cruise and they're going out of Seattle, they'll make a stop there, as those gardens are definitely worth seeing.

Just caught up. Marnie, your kids are so great on vacation. I can't believe how much you pack in. When my kids were that age, we were unable to do half of what you do with twice the whining.

Gorgeous pictures Marnie! Looks like you had a great day too - lots of sunny skies (except in a few pics).

I just got caught up with your last couple of updates and I have to say that suspension bridge looks a little scary but fun at the same time Loved all the garden pictures you posted. It really looked like your entire family loved being on this trip. I'm sad that it's coming to end soon.

Sorry for the delay again guys! We lost our internet. Again. It seems I've fixed it myself this morning with no help from AT&T (bad modem). So I've got to go buy a new one. Hopefully I'll have another update up this afternoon or tomorrow!
