Banff Baby Banff

Well what can I say, but that was a great day. Woke up yesterday at around 630, picked up Jen, went to Timmy's, checked up on the job that came in late on Thursday, nothing really to do there, so it was back home to get ready for the trip. Everything ready by 10 so off to grab Jessica, quick stop to meet Bailey, at which time i realized that we had already met, then home to grab Corey and Bam we are off.

The drive was short and sweet, the traffic moved quickly as if everyone was in a hurry to enjoy their day off in Banff. Once we arrived, it was clear to see that, that was the case the place was packed, parking was a premium, but we did manage to find a space. We walked the main drag, and checked out the shops and a few galleries. I bought a cool new touque. I saw some cool native art, and some really cool polar bear stuff that LeeAnn would love. That would be the only glitch in the day, LeeAnn found her way into my head a few times, but luckily she left quickly thanks to being with friends.

We ate lunch at a greek restaurant. Kalamari, and Lamb pita's, and of course red wine mmmm. Only eventful thing there would be the waitress spilling water on Corey, too funny. After lunch off to Cows for ice cream. Now if you have never been to Cows in Banff it is hillarious. A whole shop dedicated to cow spin offs. Like tshirts that say CowWars, or Hello Cowy. Bloody funny.

Then is was off to Sulphur Mountain. Now the Gondola cost twenty two bucks, and i really didnt want to spend it, but i caved and we went anyway. Bad move, well not really. The ride was short and sweet, the observation area, mediocre, but it did give us a chance to stand on the top of a cold mountain, which meant HOT TUB. Back down the mountain, and into the hot springs.

Hot springs were nice. Girls in bikinis ;). SO what do you do after being in a hottub looking at bikinis, cocktails of course. Back down the mountain, and into St. James pub for a couple pints, some stuffed Yorkies, and artichoke dip. Now I did not think i was gonna see mark, mainly cause I havent seen him in like 6 years, but low and beyold driving down mainstreet I see him in his cab, I try to chase him down, but to no avail. So once in the pub i call the taxi company, they call him and he comes and meets us at the pub. What can I say, it is Mark, he hasnt changed a bit, looks the same, still layed back, and believe it or not he said no to a beer, which is good cause he is a cab driver lol. Anyway had some small chat, and found out that if i need a place to stay in Banff i got one. Or if i wanna have a little vaction this winter, he can get me a room at the Banff Springs Hotel for like 75 bucks, sweet. So it looks like I will be returning to Banff for some good times this winter.

And that my friends was pretty much the day, everyone was tired so we headed back to the city. And let me tell you when we got here I was dead on my feet. But it didnt stop there, went and picked up Jen, and when I got back Rob, Brad, and their friend Kevin or something are sitting in my living room, drinking beer and trying to convince everyone that we should go out. A shit show insued, but luckily we all held our ground and Cory, Jessica, Jen and I all hung out, drank wine and surfed the televison till like 2 in the morning, at which time Jessica and Corey went over to Brendans, and Jen went home. And I went to bed, well actually I sat up watching televion, enjoying a little alone time. Which would be great, if I wasnt upset over you know what.

Emotionally the day was filled with Highs and Lows. I guess the question is, if getting rid of the Lows, meant that you would have to get rid of the highs, would you? Of course not, and with that said, steady as she she goes, course and heading unchanged. Talk to you later
