Catching Up
Hey Everyone. Sorry we’ve been lazy in updating lately. It’s nice to be living at a bit slower pace. For the time being at least, we seem to have settled into a nice marital rhythm of coming home, cooking dinner, reading and… just living. In the background, we’re starting to look at planning a Greece vacation (real honeymoon), though I imagine that won’t happen for quite some time.
Everyone told us that we shouldn’t wait an entire year to take a honeymoon, and we should take a weekend getaway somewhere shortly after the wedding. Heeding that advice, jon and I went up to Victoria a couple weekends ago and had an awesome time.
I’ve added the photo highlights of our trip to the photo page (link to the left). It’s at the bottom. Here are a few thoughts:
True to form, a picture of jon feeding something and me petting something. We’re an odd bunch, it turns out.
Sunday night we had the most incredible dinner at Café Brio. We did the 5 course chef’s menu, where the chef just… cooks for us. It was great. Some things shined better than others, but even the low points of the meal were still incredible. We had an amazing Bordeaux style wine from BC that the staff chose and… all around it was an incredible foodie-night-out.
Saturday we wandered around downtown Victoria, visiting a handful of breweries and just enjoying our time together. (read: michelle freaked out and jon had to rescue her back to reality). Really though, we had a great time. I just got a little tuckered out for an hour or so.
We visited the Butchart Gardens on Sunday after brunch at the Blue Fox (awesome!), drank our bottle of Dom Perignon that my dad gave me for graduation and had a really nice breakfast in bed on Monday. After Monday’s bubbly breakfast, we walked around the park / waterfront of southern Victoria, and ended up at Fisherman’s Wharf, where we met a seal named “Sammy” and had some great fish-n-chips.
