Father & Son Roadtrip
Steven turned 13 this past week and so I decided that the two of us should take a little roadtrip to mark the occasion. So, after a pancake breakfast at home yesterday, we jumped into the van and headed for the Highwood. After a week of rain, Saturday was a transition day – some sun, some clouds and some rain. Our plans to do some hiking fell apart as there was a big 100 mile relay run going on along Highway 40 and there were hundreds of people parked along the road and every trailhead lot was jammed. Normally you need to keep an eye out for mountain goats, which can be quite unpredictable – but people seem to have even less road sense!
We had a nice supper in Canmore then checked into our hotel and spent over 2 hours in the pool. This morning we just finished breakfast and will go for a swim before checking out. After that, who knows? There is a street fair in town today or maybe we will do a little hiking – it’s a fine day and we don’t have to be home til dark!
