Why we traveled here

Victoria is a great easy getaway from Seattle. It has the most restaurants per capita of any city in Canada and is within a short drive of the world-renowned Butchart Gardens.

We set sail from Seattle aboard the Victoria Clipper! This is the most comfortable and convenient way to travel between Seattle and Victoria. You can park near the terminal and travel car-free! We arrived around 11am and walked across the street to the Empress Hotel to have their iconic afternoon tea for lunch. Then we took a shuttle from the hotel out to the Butchart Gardens. This is Victoria's most famous attraction and must-see. Butchart gardeners plant over 300,000 bulbs per year. We took the shuttle back to downtown and enjoyed a great dinner at the Courtney Room, named one of Victoria's best restaurants in 2024.

Overnight in Hampton Court, London

I’ve been to London several times and have always wanted to tour Hampton Court Palace—a piece of historic architecture that combines medieval and baroque styles, numerous gardens, and a royal tennis pavilion that still welcomes local players. However, with Hampton Court being somewhat removed from central London, we failed in two previous attempts to visit the site. On a recent trip to Morocco, we had a two-day layover in London, so we thought we’d give it one more try!
