Sounds lovely... the only time I've had afternoon tea (high tea at that) was at the Empress Hotel in Victoria, BC.
I'll be in DC at Xmas, I'll check it out.

I love Victoria, BC, SOMMS. I try to go about once a year... this is the first year I don't go at all. High tea at the Empress is a must while in town.
Addy, I get a feeling you would love Victoria.

ck, don't forget the sunblock. It helps with the pinkness.
DD, I have always wanted to travel to Victoria. Now it's being bumped higher on my list.
Tea parties. Perfect.

I'll throw in my vote for Victoria! A beautiful English town - which just happens to be on the west coast of North America.
Addy - go in the late spring - the gardens are magnificent!

Posted: 10/25/05 at 11:46amTake the ferry from Vancouver! Tour the gardens in Victoria and then have high tea at the Empress. Finish with a short spending spree at LUSH. A faboulous day!!!!!

I actually knew that, Cookie. I must be an uber-nerd, too! 
I've been to Banff and Lake Louise. But, not Victoria and Vancouver. Next trip...

Even better... come to Seattle... and from here we take the high-speed catamaran (2 hour trip) to Victoria. And a trip to Victoria isn't complete without a visit to Butchart Gardens.
My favorite time to visit Victoria is at Christmas time. You totally forget you're in North America.

I LOVE Butterfly gardens.
There is a beautiful one near my parent's place in Florida. (I HOPE it's still there...)
