Day 20-24—Victoria, BC

Victoria was awesome and we seemed to hit the best weather. It was nice and warm, and only rained in small bits. I spent a great Saturday and Sunday afternoons watching baseball—7 year old baseball and mixed adult fastpitch. Both games were great, although Julia’s fastpitch team got through 7 innings in 1 ½ hours, not just 3 like the 7 year olds! Visiting was great, and the breakfasts Dad made were amazing! Julia treated me to Mexican, and Devin and I went out with my cousin Nicole for lunch. I saw one of my best friends, Laura, for Julia’s ball game and coffee. All in all, it was a great 5 days, and it was refreshing to be off the bike for a bit!

Ah Victoria! Visiting family is great, played with the kids, talked with the adults, cut holes in the rose bush and had a good time all around. I wish I could have stayed longer. But we have to keep moving.
