My fabulous husband made sure that my anniversary trip was special in every way. He took the planning very seriously and did all within his power to ensure that I had the best possible time and he was quite successful. One of the very best things that he did was make a reservation for afternoon tea at the Fairmont Empress in Victoria, British Columbia. It was fabulous. I oohed and ahhed.
