Weekend Away


We headed out to Jasper this past weekend and it was beautiful! We were so lucky to have the most amazing weather, blue skies and sunshine every day! We usually pack our schedule with places to go and sites to see but after a rocky start with Anna on our first morning there we decided to pack up towels and a picnic and head to the beach for a little relaxation. It was just what we all needed and I am so happy we did nothing. Well not nothing, we built sand castles, floated in tubes, snuck Coronas, soaked up the sun and read. Talk about blissful.

Margaritas to kick off the weekend. Also, this is me dressing up our campsite table. Feels like home.

One of our favourite things to do while camping: putting Anna to bed, playing crib by the fire, eating chips and licorice.

There is something so wonderful about eating your breakfast outside.

Hello Happiness!

Tough Day.

Saying yes to having fun!

We were in Jasper to celebrate dear friends getting married. My family is pretty good looking. :)

"Cory, take a picture so my shoes are in it. I love these shoes!"
Yes to wearing fancy cloths and feeling like a million bucks!

How come I don't live here?

Thank you Jasper! We will be back real soon.

Beautiful Jasper

 We packed our car up Friday afternoon and headed off to Jasper to go camping. 

 I'm the girl that packs a real wine glass camping. Keeping it real.

Waking up on Saturday in the tent was cold.... super cold! Fortunately the forecast rain came in short bursts that we managed to avoid for the most part.

Anna & Jasper Bear.

On top of Whistler's mountain after riding up on the Tram. We left as a storm was rolling in, in fact as our car started it's decent the rain came in as.... snow. Brrr.
 It was sunny in town so that's where we headed. 

The beautiful Athabasca Falls.

Maligne Canyon. 
One of my absolute favourite places in Jasper. It truly is amazing!

A giant, beautiful heart boulder. Love.

Hello there!

Miette Hot Springs.
 There is a glacier cold pool (ok, maybe not that cold) that you can go in and then get in the hot pools. I put on my brave pants, counted to three and jumped! 
WHOA! COLD! 
I could not get up the ladder fast enough and practically mowed down a group of strangers to get in the hot water... which stung like a thousand knives because I was so cold.
 Laugh out loud hilarity! 
Sounds like a ridiculous thing to do but it was pretty awesome!

Good Bye Jasper! Thanks for a great weekend! Until next time...
xoxo
