Last week, we took our first every vacation together! We visited Calaway Park in Calgary, AB – I have a little thrill seeker on my hands. My almost five year old LOVED the water ride, the swinging ship and every other ride she was tall enough to enjoy. We ended up going during the opening weekend of the Calgary Stampede, so it was probably a lot less busier than normal. It was beautiful weather too which made it a perfect way to start the trip. We decided to stay overnight at The Stoneridge Mountain Resort in Canmore, AB – this is going down as my favorite hotel in the mountains; I’d never been to Canmore before and there was something peaceful about the town. We stayed in a beautiful, two bedroom suite with the outdoor pool being the highlight for London. I will definitely be back. We got to visit The Enchanted Forest in Revelstoke, BC. This was also a first for me. I can’t remember the last time I wandered through a forest; there was something about being able to experience it with London that made it more “magical”. My favorite part: London signing her name in the book on our way out. Proud mom moment. Our final destination was Kelowna, BC. This was my first visit to Kelowna and I fell in love with the relaxed atmosphere and hot weather (& I’m not typically into warm weather, anything over 18*C makes me grumpy but I’ll thank the amazing tan I got on being accepting of with the weather). Looking back, I don’t feel like we did a whole lot, but the time flew by when we were there. We did daily trips to the Gyro beach, visited City Park playground – it was too bad the spray park was still closed due to the floods. We stopped in at Old Meadows Organic Farm & Market to grab some peas and cherries, which was basically the highlight for me. I wanted to try one of the U-Pick Farms but this was much easier, plus gave us more play time. On our last night, we got a little dressed up and of course, had to try a local Mexican Restaurant, Hector’s Casa. Yelp! & Trip Advisor has this place on their Top 3 best Mexican Restaurants. On our way home, we visited The Jammery for some French Toast and HAD to check out this place called “Dave’s Goat Walk”. Okay, so Kris has been talking about this place and I’ll be honest, I didn’t really believe it was a thing. He explained it along the lines of, the goats are on a bridge above you, you put some food into a can and the goats wheel up the can, which is attached to a rope and they eat it. I thought it was crazy. It sounds crazy. Well, it’s true. The goats are on a bridge about 20 feet over your head and you literally put corn into a tin can, that is attached to a rope, that is attached to a wheel; the goats use their faces/noses to spin the wheel and move the can all the way up and then they eat it! London LOVED this. She even got to eat the goats from her hand. I hope this can become a yearly tradition. I’m really looking forward to doing more trips which include London and making memories with her.
