Craigdarroch Castle
Last weekend's adventure did not take us far from home. We set our sights on Craigdarroch Castle. The Castle has quite the history, starting as home to the super rich Dunsmuir family in the 1890's. Since that time, Craigdarroch has seen many changes and many tenants, including serving as a military hospital, a college and home to the Conservatory of Music. Since 1979 the Castle been maintained as a Museum.
Crank that bass!

View from the tower.
The hills in the distance are Mount Douglas, left, and Mount Tolmie, right.
Sun, snow and a Castle... a rare day in Victoria.
