I don't know what our itenerary looks like yet, but we'll give you a call and see if we can hook up. You don't even need to tempt me with banana pancakes.

Mostly the reason I suggest it is the fantastic B&B Link and I stayed in<BR/>http://www.ashcrofthousebandb.com/rooms.htm<BR/>With the internet discount it's under your $150 limit.<BR/>Now, this might not be up your alley, but the bug museum was really cool, also enjoyed the century of change exhibit at the BC museum. . . and of course always whale watching tours and Butchard Gardens.<BR/>See my blog entry for more<BR/>http://yarnnation.blogspot.com/2006/04/victoria.html<BR/><BR/>2nd suggestions <BR/>Sun Mountain Lodge near Winthrop, WA<BR/>We went there for a most romantic and relaxing weekend last winter. They have a summer surprise special going on<BR/>"Summer Surprise!<BR/>Surprise the outdoor lovers in your family with our Summer Surprise Package!<BR/>From just $94 per person based on double occupancy, enjoy a first-class guestroom <BR/>and delectable breakfast.<BR/>Available through September 7, 2006 midweek, Sunday through Thursday nights."<BR/>Might work for you depending on when you plan on going. Otherwise the rooms are a little above your $150, but trust me, well worth it!<BR/><BR/>They have a list of activities to do around the lodge on their website.<BR/>http://www.sunmountainlodge.com/index.html<BR/><BR/>Now, you know I'm not really an "outdoor" person, but this placce is at the top of my list to return to.<BR/><BR/>Have fun<BR/><BR/>M.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07429515503572093034noreply@blogger.com
