The girls had an awesome time. They are thrilled we did it. The only thing they were not excited about was the Parliament building. They are in love with the hotel we stayed in. They thought is was the best one ever.  And I agree. It was the best one we have ever stayed at. And the price was not bad at all. I was pleasantly surprised. We got an incredible deal. The girls are begging to go back to the entire trip but in summer when La Push would be more enjoyable. I had forgot to mention we ate lunch at  Subway in Forks. They had the most interesting Twilight Sandwich. It had ham, chicken breast, and bacon with marinara sauce and grated cheese toasted. The girls gobbled them up. It was incredibly busy. We did not have a car nor did we us taxis. All in all this trip came in under budget. I would of liked to spend 2 or 3 more days in Victoria and be able to afford the gardens and high tea. But that would of tripled what we spent and I could not have afforded that. Marissa is thinking about just hanging out in Forks and La push for her birthday. We would of course toss in a day in Port Angeles with Liz and boogie. We would also probably go the long loop home and go a day or 2 in Pacific Beach then onto Westport and go crabbing before heading home. All this could be a 3 day trip. We would drag is out and make 4 or 5 if I can get the time. And all this is within 3 hours of my house so it can be very flexible. Not sure though about how long to make it since we have a possible trip to Ca coming in late August. Jon and gang are hoping to go to Blizzcon again and this year we are going to go with. ( I hope!!!)

So it was a way busy started to break but the girls have said it will be most memorable.
