Yeah so I didn't update this last weekend. On March 1st 2008 was Michael and my 3 year anniversary. We began our celebration with a yummy dinner at the Olive Garden in Edmonton. It was so nice to have yummy food. Michael got linguine alfredo and I had cheesey ravioliees of course. Prior to our stuffedness we spent about 50 minutes in the West Edmonton Mall shopping. Michael got me a new pair of shoes and a bathing suite(not to wear at the same time*ahem Charlee) for our extended celebration the next day. Ok before you get the wrong idea we were going to Banff to the natural hot spings and see the mountains. So needless to say that is what we did on Sunday. We left the dorm at 8am and were on our way to see the beautiful mountains in Banff. We arrived in good time it took us about 3 hours with two pit stops at Tim Hortins (breakfast and a pee stop). We parked the bug and headed up to the Gondola that took us to the top of the mountain! It was so beautiful and cold! It was a sereal experience to be ontop of a mountain and being surrounded by mountains. Michael of course had a field day with his camera and got some really good pictures. We headed back down the mountain on the gondola again and headed to the hot springs. We were both looking forward to this after being so cold. When we got to the building to pay for our tickets to get into the hot springs we found out they were closed and wouldn't be open till later that night. Unfortunatly we didn't get an extended curfew so we wern't able to do that. Disapointed we decided it was time to go back to school. Michael wanted to take a more senic route back and found about a half hour later getting to that road that it was closed due to weather conditions. So we decided to turn around and headed toward the British Colombia border which we wern't so far from. We explored a few kelometers into BC and decided to head back to school. We shared a lot of good laughs on the ride home despite the disapointments. It was a really fun anniversary. Oh and I forgot to mention Michaels gift, I made him a 20page scrap book in less than a week! He was pretty surprised and thought it was a really good gift. It was a fun and memorable anniversary.   |
Thanks for sharing the pictures with us. Even though some of your plans hit snags, I would of been disappointed about the hot springs!! at least you had a beautiful, clear day with some great shots of the mountains. Have a happy Sabbath & get some rest.
