Canada




Just got back from our trip to Canada. We were gone for 2 weeks and it was a great trip. We went first to Casper, Wyoming and spent a couple days with Kon's Aunt Susan who has a cabin there. We packed her in the car with us and then headed for Calgary. After a couple days at his parents, we headed to Jasper for a 4 day weekend with his parents, brother Chris, sister Kate and their families. It was just great. The girls had a great time with their cousins, big and small. I am hopeful that I passed inspection by Konrad's family. They seemed to have the same reaction my family had...just really happy to see us so happy!! We did once again travel amazingly well together considering we travelled over 2000 miles, packed and unpacked our car and cartop carrier 5 times and had 3 girls (well, 4 when Susan was with us!) with all of our varying moods accompanying us!!! Konrad does have more patience than any man I have ever met....
The Canadian Rockies far surpassed any previous notion I had of them. I actually didn't take alot of pics because I knew there was no way to capture the immensity of their size and beauty. Here are some pics, though, to give you a glimpse of our trip. Again, click on each picture to see them larger.
