On the day before Victoria Day, my husband and I went to White Rock and walked on the trail by the train tracks near the water. We also walked out onto the pier and enjoyed the sunset from there. Before we left White Rock, we had gelato. What a great day! I hope you were able to enjoy some of BC’s beautiful sights and weather on the Victoria Day weekend.
