A little vacation due West...




Alan made rather spontaneous plans to drive out to the Rockies last week. I had three days tagged onto the long weekend so we said 'what the heck!'. Can you believe I left my PC just as referrals were coming out? I survived and was pretty excited to learn when we got back that they had referred up to November 21. I'm not even going to speculate as to what that means for us... Anyways, I have decided that if I couldn't live on the East Coast then I would live in the mountains. I absolutely loved it!! It was my first time there. We are already planning our trip for next year. I still can't believe how the mountains affected me. I'm buying a lottery ticket tonight so I can have a chance of actually being able to buy a place out there!! LOL Here are some pics from the trip. We used Canmore as a basis for the first few nights. We hiked/explored around Canmore then we did day trips to Banff and Lake Louise. The last night we went to Kananaskis Village and stayed at a great hotel there. The hot tub definitely felt good after so much hiking for the current day flatlander. I forgot I had glutes!! ha ha After hiking the mountains though, I feel confident I can make it up the Great Wall without issue.
