Day two was pretty damn good. First off, look at me sleeping until 6:25 in the morning. The day started with us going on down for breakfast where they had a really nice spread. Better quality it felt than the normal breakfast layouts. Maybe that's because the staff was nicer? I don't know what it was, but it was nice. I had an egg white omelette filled with goat cheese and asparagus, B had a mushroom omelette with potatoes and grilled tomatoes. The one perk of my travel status is not having to worry about it costing anything. Breakfast is always comped at my level.

Finished breakfast, came back up to the room to finish getting ready.



While up in the room I had a call with my boss. I am about to do two back to back weeks. First one is is in NJ again. Turns out there was only one person who didn't like me. They want me back for a second session. The following week, Miami for Lennar construction. I can use the miles that's for sure. Just hope there's no hurricanes. Booked NJ, waiting for confirmed dates to book FL.

After that we then headed out to the Butterfly Gardens. It wasn't a bad drive. About 15 miles away and it took us about 20 minutes. That place was SO COOL. I even had a butterfly land on my head! It was pretty damn neat. After there, we headed to Butchart Gardens where we had afternoon tea service in the rose garden then walked around the entire gardens. We didn't finish until after 2. Headed back to the hotel where we both rested for about an hour. While driving back we passed an area with a bunch of shops and restaurants and decided to walk back there for dinner.

We walked back and went to a place called Pig. It was all pork. Pulled. Belly. Etc. While the service was horrible, they had 3 people working with like 25 customers, the food was pretty good. It was a counter service kind of place, so not fancy. I had a pork belly sandwich with fried mac and cheese and B had a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw.

After dinner we just started walking. Best decision ever. We ended up at a night market on the harbor where met all sorts of nice people, bought some jewelry, soap, a purse for B, chocolate, and mini donuts! We had a great time wandering around, just being in the moment.

We got back to the room around 9 and we both were feeling pretty good. We then disappeared into the bedroom for a while. Sometimes a break from home is what's needed to get other things motivated. It was pretty damn nice, let me tell you.

Fell asleep around 10:30. Today we are off to Craigdarroch Castle and something else. I can't remember what the second thing was. Oh well. We'll figure it out.
