I knew we had picked the right Victoria bed and breakfast when we walked in the front door and saw this bawdy, blue-haired broad... This work, "Maria de Medici," was one of many beautiful and strange creations hidden around the Albion Manor, a Victoria, BC bed & breakfast owned by innkeeper and artist, Fernando Garcia. The house is a treasure chest of beautiful and eccentric, ...
A Weekend Getaway to Victoria, B.C.
I've lived on the West Coast for more than a decade and always wanted to visit British Columbia, but never seemed able to plan a trip north of the border. When Kevin, inspired by a new team of Canadian co-workers, suggested we turn our planned weekend getaway to Seattle into a trip to Vancouver Island, I jumped at the chance to hop to Canada instead.

One Day in Sacramento
A few weeks ago, I joined my friends Garrick and Jenna on a day trip to Sacramento. I'd been wanting to explore California's capital city for years, so I was excited when Jenna invited us up for the day. (I was even more excited when we decided to take Amtrak.) I'm being generous when I call it a day trip. It was only enough time to see some of the sites, grab lunch, dessert, and a beer, and ...
