Prior to Covid we, like many of our friends, flew to far away places for a change of scenery. During the restricted Covid era we mostly stayed home but also tried to find ways of taking safe, local mini-vacations. One of our favourites has been a 6 night get-away very close to home. From the book-town of Sidney, to Victoria, to the Sooke Potholes, we rediscovered the diversity of southern Vancouver Island.
