Japan Trip / Pt 5
Walking around in Kyoto.

Heading out to Kyoto.
First full day in Tokyo.
Back in November I was finally lucky enough to be able to take a week long trip to Japan. Spent most of the time in Tokyo with one day in Kyoto and another in Nara/Osaka. Here are a couple posts recapping that trip.
Wrapping up our travels to BC & Washington, wonderful (albeit dark & gloomy) Vancouver!
Next stop was Tacoma. After BC, it was admittedly not quite up to par, but they did feature a pretty impressive glass museum! Better yet, they actually had a glass making workshop to demonstrate some of the abilities and techniques the skill required. The following day we headed home and said good bye to this beautiful corner of the globe, but I aim to be back again in the near future.
While visiting Victoria, we had to visit the Butchart Gardens. There's few gardens that hold my interest well enough, but Butchart is definitely one of the best.
The next day it was time to head over to Vancouver via ferry, bus, and light rail. The bus ride was longer than we expected, but overall it was a relatively smooth trip. The entire time spent at Victoria was bright and sunny, so it while it wasn't unplanned, we weren't expecting the dark clouds and rain that hit us on our first night. Still one of the most beautiful cities though...
I'm so ridiculously behind posting these, I'm just going to get on with it. Film pics from my family vacation in Victoria-Vancouver-Tacoma, starting with the island.
While the Northwest in general is easily one of my favorite place the world, Victoria in particular holds a special place in my heart as always being an exceptionally wonderful area.
