As you will know if you’ve been paying attention, Kent and I just got back from a ten day vacation to visit Leah and Tim in Calgary. We were joined by our friends Matt and Laura, and had a fabulous time. Here’s some photographic evidence of that:
We spent the first half of the trip searching out a Tim Hortons – any good Canadian will recognize it in this picture! We are addicts.
Matt, Laura, Leah, me, and Kent out for some spicy Thai food in Banff.
Our hotel had a couple of sweet hot tubs that dyed that bathing suit a strange tan colour. I don’t even want to think about what the chemicals did to my skin.
The group at the top of Lake Louise.
It was so nice out that we ate lunch outside and did a little suntanning.
Anyone who’s been to Lake Louise will recognize this infamous photo op.
Our last day on the slopes was spent at Sunshine.
Our boys spent a lot of time cooking for us.
And we all spent a lot of time drinking wine.
The last couple days were spent meeting up with a LOT of family – here is the group with our cousin Chris and our friend Natalie!
Our Aunt gave me and Leah the coolest spices ever that she got from India.
Our lovely hosts.
Leah was so sad to see us go that she started to act a little strangely…
All in all it was a great trip and I would travel with these travel buddies anytime.
All of my credit and appreciation goes to Laura for the photos and for being the official photographer of the trip.

The trip looks like it was so much fun! I am sad that I didn’t join you.
Looks like a brilliant time! Good job – I’m a terrible Canadian, I’ve never been skiing or snowboarding in the rockies.
Forgive me? =)

I have to tell you guys that I had a dream that I was the MC at the upcoming wedding! The dream has a REALLY high production value: voiceovers, celebrity appearances and special effects! I’m sorry to say that I woke up at 3:17AM without the ceremony or reception having started yet but I’m delighted to report that it looks like we were in for one hella good time.
(NOTE: I’m trying hard to work ‘hella’ into my conversation lately, also ’super cereal.’) CHEERS!
