I promised the girls an afternoon tea while in Victoria, which is probably something I should have done some basic research on first--so many tea rooms in BC, so many are closed on Mondays.
However, ninth time's the charm and we found a public house that offered a decent tea, and substituted for our dinner.
Meanwhile, Super Dad Dwayne was left to deal with a grouchy Wesley, who was not at all happy that we had spent part of the afternoon at the Bug Zoo. But Brilliant Dwayne checked in at the Visitor Center and found, of all things, axe throwing 2 blocks away, and a Virtual Reality center another block up. I can't emphasize this enough, Wes loved axe-throwing. [To the point, I had to interrupt a conversation with Papa Jim, because I saw Wes headed to the backyard, carrying an axe and a piece of plywood.]
Dwayne says throwing an axe isn't that hard. You get your throw down, and then step back or forward enough to have the axe rotate the correct number of times to hit the target. Wesley bulls-eyed 4 times in the hour, and hit the target often.
One more thing I love about British Columbia: it always seems more progressive than Seattle. This sign was in the women's washroom at the Public House we had tea at.
