get away

i am sitting in a big fluffy bed eating chocolate dipped pretzels.  c.j. and eli are asleep and ida is grunting around  beside me.  we decided, since eli has monday off from school, we would bug out. we have ended up in banff.  

over the past 8 years living in calgary, we have taken day trips to banff, rushing out, seeing this, running here, then drive home.  we have never been able to spend time and enjoy ourselves or explore the area.  well, we have checked ourselves into the rimrock and are going spend the next couple of days experiencing banff like everyone else that comes from all over the world does. {you wouldn't believe how many australians we have run into!}

pictures will follow, you will just have to wait.

Good for you guys!!!!! We are a little jealous... ok make that a lot!! SO glad that you are taking advantage before you are gonzo.... I am sure you (like us) will miss Banff when it is no longer in your backyard. Enjoy your trip and each other!!

How fun! Audrey actually wrote a little report for school a month or so ago about when we got to stay at the Banff Springs and ice skate and sled. We only did it twice but she still talks about it! You guys will have a lot of fun. Can't wait to see pictures!!
