Holiday: Banff edition

We were on our holiday for 10 days, 10 seriously wonderful days! It was so nice to get away, enjoy each others company and just sit back & relax. Our first stop was Banff, we checked into our campsite, set up and got down to business- roasting hot dogs & making smores! Serious happiness!


 The moon on our first night was so bright you could hardly look at it- it was pretty amazing. We stayed up late, sat by the fire, drank wine and watched the stars. I saw a shooting one and quickly made a "have an amazing holiday" wish. We watched deer cross through the campsite by moon light, it really was kind of cheesy how perfect the night was.


 We drove up to Morraine Lake to climb up rocks, go canoeing and check out the spectacular views! After that we headed over to Lake Lousie to take some photos and dip our toes in the icy water.


We stayed in Banff for two nights, woke up early, headed to Starbucks and then it was off to Nelson.

The Most Wonderful Holiday


Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy. unknown

We are home from the most wonderful holiday. We were on an adventure in British Columbia & saw some of the most beautiful views. We canoed, went kayaking & swam in lakes. We drank wine & ate grapes off the vine. We dodged mountain goats and watched salmon swim up stream. We roasted hot dogs & marshmallows. We relaxed around and floated in a pool. We soaked in a hot tub and watched the stars. We hiked and pretended we were kings of the castle. We picked heart shaped rocks and skipped others. We wandered through an Enchanted Forest. We ate ice cream, lots of ice cream. There are 1oo's! of photos to go through. We are so grateful for each and every moment, even the rain on the way home because it brought the clouds down so low you could reach out and put your hand through them. Magic.
