Still an un-eventful drive. This is good. Knock on wood.
Our window crack has grown by one inch. Precisely.
Every time I get to drive through the Rockies I am amazed at how beautiful they are and just how small I am.
This is but a small section of the Rockies....but loved this particular shot.
I love to think about the poor souls who had to make this "pathway" through these here GIANT rocks.
This was one of our longer drives and it included driving over a time zone. Ugh....just when your think your making great time....bamm....tack on an extra hour.
Anywho....the snow storm we were warned about didn't end up being so bad. We did however need to use our snow brush that we remembered to throw in the car at the last minute though. But, really.....it's wasn't going to stop traffic.
Calagary for me has always been a traditional stop with family. My Aunt Nancy and my Uncle Jim have lived in Calgary as long as I can remember. Same house too. So over the years as a kid I have fond memories of visiting them. Shawn and I have now made it a tradition to always stop in Calgary as we (continually) relocate ourselves across the continent.
It was a delicious visit as per usual. Thank you to Uncle Jim who always provides a feast. I relish these (too infrequent) visits with my family. I am always pleasantly reminded how much my family resembles each other. I also cherish the stories and tidd bits that I get hear about my Dad as a kid/young man. I did learn the other night that my Dad got his love for cheese from his Father. That made me smile because I now know where that love comes from and am pleased to say that I also got my love for cheese from my Father.
Me and My Aunt Nancy XO
It has been so long since our last stop in Calgary (6yrs!!?) that a whole new person has been created and joined this world!!! My second cousin Andrea had a baby and he is already 5!!!! Joshua is his name and he is a cracker!!
So after a wonderful evening filled with laughs, food and of course wine.....we headed back to our hotel to rest our weary heads. We stayed at the Westin. It was lovely.
