Trip through the Mountains 2018

This is probably my favourite vacation I took last year, only being beaten by our Denmark trip the year previous around this time.



While in Edmonton, we stopped by West Edmonton Mall for a total of 15 minutes, and decided we could find the same things in Toronto.  I forced Alex to come with me into an antique store, which I found MEGA FUN.  So many cool things, but all of them breakable.  We also visited Andrea and Francis, two very good friends of mine, and I didn't take a group photo of everyone. :(  But we had a great time before going off to the mountains! :)





Probably my favourite photo as we drove into the mountains


I loved this photo, even though something odd happened when I took it...it was a mountain I fell in love with 




We discovered goats right by Miette Hot Springs 
We hiked to the water sources of the Hot Springs, smelled terrible, looked beautiful.

Took some really great mountain photos



Stayed in a very cute bed and breakfast that served the best banana bread, fresh every day!

 
Stood on top of a mountain in near Jasper


Found a new favourite waterfall, Tangle Falls


Spent a rainy day in Banff....the place I hate most on earth.  (Complete tourist trap...)

Pretended to meditate to pretend I enjoyed hanging out in Banff...

But we did go for a short hike, and had some fun doing it.


Once in Calgary, we stayed across from 'The United Brotherhood  of Carpenters and Joiners of America.' (Also, on way to Lake Louise, learned how fast people drive on the highway.  It's fast!)

Visited with my Aunt Jodi and Uncle Jake and family


 Went to Lake Louise, and captured 'the photo' we went on this trip for! 


Had a $100 lunch on the patio of the hotel (Which I didn't pay for, ha!)


Drove home so I could get a kiss from my momma
And then got upgraded to first class on our flight back...say what??? Wow!

Overall, there were so many memories and moments, it's hard to count them all.  It was definitely a road trip to remember!
