Oh Feather-top Mattress Pad...I Love You

Now I know this is not really a post about anything, so prepare yourselves.  No wedding stuff, no crafty stuff, and not even any cooking stuff. But, today I find the need to share one of the most wonderful things in the world that I discovered. Yes. The MOST wonderful thing. Are you still with me or do you think I have lost my mind? Ha, well it is Thursday, been a long week, and I have to finish it up tomorrow....so, maybe I have lost my mind.

OK, bear with me. When Jeff and I were in Victoria staying at the most lovely little B&B (which I still dream about, yes...I do. Just had a dream the other night that I was there.  I need therapy) we slept in the most fantastic bed.  The last day we were there the Innkeepers told us it was a feather-top mattress pad. Yep, it was that simple. Not a fancy feather bed or anything. Just a mattress pad. This bed was fantastic. So fantastic we coined it the "magic bed" because the minute we laid down we went right to sleep! Ahhh, the best sleep I have had in years.   

So when we got back home I started doing my research. Fortunately from those many generous individuals that gifted us with gift cards for the wedding, I was able to purchase a feather-top mattress pad! The best part was free shipping and it was on sale and I got 20% off on top of that! Wa-hoo!!

Well, it arrived today! I put it on immediately and got everything all ready to hop in.

(not that you can really tell anything from this photo anyway but, it is fabo!)

I watched TV for about an hour, turned off the light, and feel asleep with a huge smile on my face. Oh, it was even better than I had expected. And, I think I probably dreamed about Victoria too!

Cheers! 

Friday In Victoria

Today is our last day here in Victoria. We have had so much fun! This really has been the best honeymoon ever in our opinion.  We have had the best of everything...the ocean, mountains, and forest. It will be so hard to go home!  

(this boat is a decorative piece of the B&B grounds. It is called "gypsy girl" and they turned it into a planter, too cute!)

(This is Mac, she is part of the B&B grounds too!  She will greet you at your car and walk you up to the door.)

Today we slept in.  Dieter took the morning off from cooking breakfast and sent us to White Spot. After breakfast, we went back to the room and I took a nap!  I think the week was beginning to catch up with me. After my nice little nap we went downtown and did a bit more shopping.  After shopping we went back to our sweet little room at the bed and breakfast and chilled out some more.  

Then we got back in the canoe. This time we canoed over to the University and Hatley Castle.  We were out there for a long while but I did not see an otter this time!  I really loved being in that canoe in the middle of the lagoon.  It was so peaceful.

I took a picture of our evening canoe from the dock.  I got so excited about canoing today I left the camera on the dock as we were out for our canoing adventure. By the time we got back to the dock, it was getting too dark to get the camera and go back out. We did get a big kick out of these swans though. They had quite some character to them!

For dinner we decided to go back to Six Mile Pub.  It was a good little spot to start dinner off on Sunday so we figured it would be a good little spot to end dinner on Friday. We even met a Cowboy's fan!  Outside, before we walked into the Pub, there was a Canadian with a Cowboy's hat on! Of course Jeff struck up a conversation with him.  He has been a Cowboy's fan from ever since because he even mentioned Tom Landry! We got a kick out of this.  A true Cowboy's fan deep in the heart of Victoria, who would have imagined! 

Jeff allowed me to take a picture of dinner this time.  I had chicken pot pie...it was delicious! 

We also had the best crab dip I think I have ever tasted.

Jeff had Fish and Chips.  We had plenty Fish and Chips while here in Victoria! 

I believe a diet may be in my future.

 Cheers!
