we have wanted to make a day trip to banff for years now.
but, despite the fact that it is only an hour away (and other people travel from all over the world to see this place) we have just never managed to get ourselves there.
this weekend we finally did it!
we spent saturday in the lovely little town of banff.
we spent a couple hours on banff ave - looking in all the neat stores, buying tasty, overpriced treats, and eating lunch at a little creperie.
then we went to bow falls - walked the path along the shore, tossed rocks in the water, and even saw a huge elk crossing the river.
and our final stop was the hot springs.
the hot springs were really busy and the locker room made me feel like i would never be clean again.. but our kids enjoyed themselves.
tad was the smallest, but splashiest, person in the pool.
it's impossible to capture how cute that town is and how pretty the rockies are. you'll just have to trust me that they are top notch!
