All that exploration is hard work so we thought a nice steak and salmon BBQ would be just right. After dinner we took the dingys back to Butchart Gardens and found our space on the lawn with the other spectators. I expected just a small display; was I wrong....This was a major production....

My pictures just capture a tiny portion of the extravaganza. And words won't suffice, either. You just have to go there to experience it.

We navigated to our floating beds by flashlight. Tired from sensory overload: from flowers to fireworks....and then some.

On even the best dream vacations, it all comes down to one final day. The route home.

Wasn't it Peter Pan who didn't want to grow up; who wanted to stay in fantasy land forever?

My Oh My !!!!

Once we cleared U.S. Customs at Roche Harbor we met a 34' Tollycraft, 'Golden Eagle', that could have been our boat's younger sister. Lookin' rather stylish. I wonder if he's a member of the Tollyclub?

Beautiful weather, great scenery, fine food and even finer company. A dream vacation......once in a lifetime? I certainly hope not !!!
