I managed to pack a whole Summers vacation into a week. Visiting, fishing, museum visits, new friends and fantastic meals all in 8 days.
I watched my sister a brother-in-law slowly add to their renovated 1911 home (old here) which was barged up from Victoria to the Gulf Islands four years ago, got warmed by the sun while fishing for cod and salmon, sampled lamb, cod cheeks and venison, went to this:

where among other things I saw this:

which I had already seen some of in the British Museum.
Drank far too much although some of it were some excellent single-malts and some new ciders-

Which I thoroughly enjoyed (more than once).
All in all a good trip (Vancouver Island from Denman Island to Victoria)

Seacider? It sounds great, but you can't tell me you didn't also single it out because of the pun

Oo, the RBCM 
One of my favorite places. I visited it often as a teen, and was even given a tour of some of the archives by the curator.
