Flash Back Friday!

     

   

     So this is a FBF post because it is Thursday and this was one of my most favorite memories of my life! Rory and me decided to take a road trip to Calgary, Alberta in Canada last August and it was definitely a snap decision. But, such a great decision! Rory drove most of the 13 hours from Utah, which I was so thankful for. We did not bring our fur child because this was before we even had her! But, I would love to go back and bring her. Rory’s family lives in Calgary so we stayed with them and did so many fun activities. We went up to Banff twice when we were there. Once with just ourselves and another time with his some of his family! Banff was seriously so gorgeous. I never thought I could be somewhere so free, natural, and gorgeous. We went on a major 4-hour ish hike that I cannot even remember the name, but any hike in Banff is fun and beautiful. I recall that the hike we went on was hard and we had to literally walk on a hill of rocks for at least 45 minutes! The adventure in me was totally stoked on life! Lake Louise is also a must do! It is beautiful and I would love to stay at the gorgeous hotel by the lake called the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. There is also an easy hike around Lake Louise and once you get to the top, there is the cutest little teahouse! We also enjoyed a little ice bath in the Lake...it was FREEZING! We also visited the Calgary Zoo, which was amazing. So many fun animals and the it was clean and beautiful…would be super fun with little kids! In addition, we also took a lunch date in the Calgary Tower and let me tell you…the food was SO YUMMY! The tower rotates 360 degrees very slowly while you are sitting so you can get a view of everything! It was nice to get dressed up and go out with my love! Another fun place we visited was the Sikome Reservoir, which is like a little beach! We stayed in Calgary for about a week and loved just hanging out with Rory’s family and take long walks along the Bow River, which was right behind the house we were staying at! Definitely a place I would love to go back and visit! P.S. The pictures are totally out of order!
