  • Calgary

    Calgary

    Our weather luck ran out on us in Calgary and we were back to more Canadian spring temperatures. We didn’t have a whole lot planned for the May long weekend in Calgary but we had a great time exploring the city. We were super lucky with the location of our…

  • The Rockies

    The Rockies

    We set off from Vancouver to head to our first stop in the Rockies – Jasper – where we would stay for a few nights before heading through Lake Louise, Banff and on to Calgary. We wanted to make sure that Charlie didn’t have to move on his birthday –…
