Tom and I went to Victoria, British Columbia with Tom's sister Tiffany and her husband Seth. We snuck out at 5 in the morning and got home around midnight. Long, fun day. For us. It was a little rough starting out for our girls... We left at 5, and Tom's mom came to sleep on the couch and wait for the girls to wake up, then they were all going to head to grandma's house. Someone (TOM- I was gone the night before...) forgot to tell the girls the plan... Grandma heard them stirring, so she got up and went in the bathroom. The girls come downstairs, hear someone in the bathroom, can't find mom or dad, and proceed to freak out. Beth came out of the bathroom and found all 4 of them smooshed into a chair, terrified to see who had broken in. A little sad, but they got over it. Until Alix threw up later... But, moving on, let me tell you about our excellent day (totally unaware of the drama going on at home)...
On the ferry. We drove to Port Angeles and then caught the ferry from there...
The capitol building.... Really great architecture in Victoria
Buchart Gardens. Gorgeous! (And I'm not just talking about Tom...)
Random plaster man on the wharf... He was a funny guy
My two favorite flags... =)
Lovin' his new hat...
The pickle boat taxi. We rode one back to our ferry. I think these were Tom's favorite thing...

Glad you took off the blue shades for some of the pictures so we could be sure it was the real you;)
Adult get-aways are a grea thing every now and then -- even without kids at home!
Dad and I had a good laugh more than once as we read this entry. Maybe we shouldn't have laughed quite so hard since it was due to our grandchildren's plight? Good title, by the way.
That is sad, but super funny too. Poor girls! I'm so glad you guys got to spend the day away together. That is awesome!!
I am still laughing! Your poor girls!!! That'll teach Tom to ill prepare his ladies for the parental exit! Awesome that you 2 got away though... :) Hilarious!
