February Road Trip — Intro

So, some of you may recall that we donated some money to help a doc­u­men­tary film get made.  This film (The Bus) is now com­plete, and we have been invited to the pre­miere screen­ing, and pre-screening party in Mis­soula Mon­tana.  Now, when we orig­i­nally did this, we were think­ing the screen­ing would hap­pen in spring or sum­mer, and would be a fun ran­dom lit­tle road trip, when­ever it hap­pened to be.

About a month ago, we got the e-mail announc­ing the film was com­plete, and pre­miere screen­ing would take place on Feb­ru­ary 23rd (insert needle-scratch here).  Admit­tedly, of all the Februarys

Fall 2011

Admit­tedly, in the past 6 months or so since our wed­ding, the fre­quency of our adven­tures has ebbed to a rel­a­tive low.  We have tem­porar­ily shifted our gazes inward, to our home, and each other.  Not a bad thing, unless you have your hearts set on lots of new blog posts…

On the Sep­tem­ber long week­end, we headed out west.  We spent the first night in Yoho National Park, at a provin­cial camp­ground.  To our great sur­prise, we ran into some friends of ours at the same camp­ground in the morn­ing.  It was great to have break­fast with

Canmore Caving

In late July we went on a 6 hour cav­ing expe­di­tion in Can­more with Brandi’s dad.  Unfor­tu­nately Pam wasn’t able to join us due to knee and shoul­der injuries.  We got up early and drove out to Can­more so we could have break­fast at Chez Fran­cois (Eggs Ben­nies all around — very tasty) before meet­ing our tour guide and the rest of the group at the Sobeys.  All together there were 5 of us on the tour.

 

There was about a 30 minute hike up to the cave.  When we got up there, we donned har­nesses, cov­er­alls, leashes, hardhats,

Wedding Voyage 2011 — Conclusion

By now, we’ve been home for approx­i­mately two months; our fun travel adven­tures are always tough to leave behind; but the con­tin­u­ing tran­si­tion into mar­ried life is its own adventure.

Here is the com­pleted map of our wed­ding trip travels:

We arrived back in Cal­gary in the mid­dle of the Cal­gary Stam­pede with Brian hav­ing asthma/allergy breath­ing issues (likely due to all the hay in town for Stam­pede) and try­ing to get back in the swing of the work­ing world and not hav­ing a new hot spring soak every day. We have

Little Blue Westy From Maryland

This morn­ing, we drove down to the Crowsnest Pass to meet our friends Ian and Nathalie, so they could shoot some engage­ment pho­tos for us.

We had orig­i­nally dis­cussed camp­ing down there and com­ing home tomor­row, but in the end we decided to head home tonight. The weather is a lit­tle cool and wet, and we’re sooo tired!

As we turned onto Hwy 22, we noticed that a lit­tle blue West­falia pulled in behind us. He saw me tak­ing pic­tures, and we waved. Passed each other back and forth until
