Flying with Harbour Air to the Victoria Harbour

My time in Hamilton was short and I took very few photos. I was supposed to spend my final days with some friends in Vancouver but decided to head back to the island to spend a few more days with family. I treated myself to another seaplane ride with Harbour Air and the views were spectacular! This may be my new favorite way (and only way) I will travel to the island from now on! Ha!

Juno got a bunch of presents from her great aunts in Ontario

This kid LOVES the camera!

Canada: Victoria, BC to Hamilton, ON (via Calgary)

The flight from Victoria, BC over to Calgary, AB offered stunning views

I spent one week in Ontario at my dad's house. The time went by quickly. I had two family functions on the weekend. (Saturday for my mom's side of the family and Sunday for my dad's side) I saw three of my oldest friends but most of my time was spent around my dad's house doing a whole lot of nothing. When I had originally planned my trip back in March or April, my dad was going to go to BC and meet me there. Due to very expensive hotels in summer, he decided it would be cheaper for me to fly to ON. He kindly paid for my flight, even after telling him numerous times that it wasn't necessary. Love him! And lucky me!
