Birthday trip to Victoria

I have had such a great time reading up on my friends from California that I have decided to follow suite and start of blog myself!

Welcome to the SNOWDEN FAMILY BLOG!

For my birthday this year, Jake decided to take me to Victoria for a few days. It was really nice to get away.

We had hardly seen Jake the week before our trip because of the editing he has been doing for our church's live album/DVD. But editing is done, and the album will be released next week at our Life Women's Conference!!! It looks great (I have gotten a sneak peak) and sounds great too.

So how nice to just "get away from it all". Vancouver Island is so beautiful, and it had been a good 10 years since I had been on the Island. Jake had never been, so what a great place to take a trip!

Our first day we started with a scenic drive/getting somewhat lost, but ended up finding some beautiful views of the ocean. That was followed by some nice walks around the city, and a little boat cruise. We ended the day with a trip to the petting zoo, which the kids just loved.












Over the next couple of days we took in some more attractions (Undersea Gardens, Wax Museum, a Castle, Butterfly Museum) And of course, since it was my birthday trip, we had chocolate cake! We had a great time!

I really love our little weekend getaways. We get so busy with life, church and other activities that it's nice to just have the 4 of us and nothing else going on.

So now we are back to the busy life. Our Women's conference is next week. Jake is doing media for that, and I am running the Nursery. We are expeciting 1500 women. It's going to be amazing.

Jake's mom arrives next Tuesday for a week. She is bringing along Isaac, Jake's youngest brother. My little suite is going to be full! But it's going to be so much fun!

And of course, as I said at the beginning of my post, our 3rd live album "One" is going to be released next week!!!! I'm totally excited!!!!!! :)
