Day 8 - Tea for two

A couple of things to add about yesterday...The hotel we are staying at the "Oak Bay Beach Hotel" is beyond our expectations. The heater in the our room is a faux fire place with a big screen T.V. above the fireplace. The bathroom has a sunken bathtub with a sliding window above the tub, made of two wooden panels, that you can open up into the bedroom. No we haven't kept it open. The bathroom has a separate shower and a separate toilet that has it's own door. As you can guess we are very impressed and are enjoying the luxury of the hotel. There is also a beautiful outside swimming pool with an ocean view that is heated and a small beach with tide pools.
Today we slept in until 8:30am and had breakfast at the little cafe on the main floor. It had a very "Harry Potter" feel. We went to the Royal BC Museum. What a great museum! It was a bigger version of the Oakland museum. Not far away from the museum was the Empress Hotel where Kate and Mackenzie had late tea. Scott and Jack went back to the museum and saw beautiful totem poles.
We all went to the IMAX theater which is part of the Royal museum and saw "The Lemurs of Madagascar". This was Mackenzie's and Jack's first IMAX movie, it was great. Too bad all movies aren't IMAX movies. - Kate
