After walking around the Salmon Festival, we headed off to the river side to see the tall ships at Imperial Landing! This is the third year in a row that the ships have come to dock at Richmond's Steveston Village. It was a beautiful day and we got to board the ships and explore! I wish I could see the ships with their sails up one day! They'd look magnificent!
