Victoria here we come...

Another whirlwind adventure for the Robertsons this weekend as we just came back from Victoria. We were there for a Family Medicine Residents conference which was held at the Coast Harbourside Hotel, a great hotel with an awesome indoor/outdoor swimming pool. :)

We left Thursday night with Matt's collegue, Shelter, and spent the night at his family's house in Burnaby. The next morning we headed off to pick up Matt's collegue, Amy, and we were off to the ferry. We arrived on Friday in early afternoon and were throw instantly into a busy day. As Matt attended sessions Liam and I were lucky enough to meet up with my godmother, Rita Robertson, and her daughter, Tracey, and Tracey's 3 year old son, Ethan. Rita is very close friends with my parents as she babysat both Miles and myself when we lived in Kitimat, BC. I don't get to see them very often but the Robertsons mean a great deal to me.

That evening we enjoyed a great dinner with our friends Justin and Catherine. They made us gourmet pizzas and treated us to some fantastic red wine. Liam enjoyed their house as well but more so their bed as he snoozed away the evening there.

Most mornings as Matt went to sessions Liam, Karen, Kylie and I spent time in the hotel pool. Liam did a fine job kicking those sumo legs of his and then relaxed in the whirlpool afterwards.

Saturday afternoon Matt and Justin headed out onto the water on Justin's racing boat. Matt said he had a blast cruising around on the ocean. While Liam, Loreal, her son Chase, Catherine and I headed to downtown Victoria to shop and spend the afternoon enjoying the fantastic sunshine.

That evening we went to The Keg for dinner with Catherine, Justin, Matt's collegue Jeremy and his wife Loreal and son Chase. We had a great time eating and chatting!

As usual the weekend went by in a flash but we had a chance to see friends that we don't get to see very often. Well that's all for now.

Love,

The Robertsons
