Sarah, Nathan and Dad in Victoria, BC spending the day at the British Columbia Museum of Natural History and the British Columbia Legislature.

The museum was chronologically arranged.  Starting with one of the best dinosaur displays in the world, visitors moved to the Ice Age mammels and the native Canadian tools and clothing.

The totems, tools and boats were great as well as the full sized fort and trading post from the 1700's. 

Dad got depressed seeing that computers and eight-track tapes that he owned in the 70's and 80's are now on display in a museum.

Nathan is wearing his Sacred Heart High School T-Shirt and Gonzaga hat that got him such good luck with the ladies in Seattle (especially in the Space Needle!)

Dad said, "You don't go to a museum to scope out babes."

Nathan answered, "Maybe you don't."

Dad trying on a dinosaur hat that would look ridiculous on anyone.  He handled almost everything in the gift shop and asked too many questions, making everyone working there nervous and making everyone laugh.

Dad is weird.

If you double-click on the picture, you can get a bigger view and the whole photo (not just part of it!)

After the museum, we walked all over the pier area of Victoria, BC, the boyhood home of Steve Nash.  There were lots of tourists (even a few native Canadians!) and vendors and muscians.  One musician was a social studies teacher in Michigan during the school year but spends his summers playing music for change.  He said he made as much playing songs on a corner as he did teaching.
