Banff


A few months ago, Dane and I traveled to Canada for one week to see my family and have a bit of a vacation from school and work in California. The first thing I can say is that I have become a cold wimp. It was a lot colder in Canada then it was in California! We flew into Montana and had my sister Lindsay pick us up, drove over Logan's pass too fast - which made us have to stop and I threw up - and then we finally made it home. It was great to see my family again and see how big some of the grandkids were! We also made a little two day trip to Banff so Dane could see just how beautiful Canada is. It was beautiful and we lucked out and got a great deal on a mountain view hotel, thanks to Dane's mom's timeshare there!

We went horseback riding, canoeing and went on the gondola up the mountain. It was gorgeous and we even caught a 2 minute snow fall. Dane's favourite part of the trip was when we went horseback riding. The guide brought my horse to me and said, "This is Romeo. You must be Juliette." Without even thinking about it I replied, "No, I'm Hilary!" That was embarrassing. My horse kept going off the path to eat grass so I would pull on him and say, "No Romeo!" By the end of the ride, I had brought a few laughs to our fellow riders and our guide. Here are a few of our pictures!
