A Day of "Wow!"


Banff is breathtaking. It is beautiful beyond words. I found myself repeating "Wow!" throughout the day. Flying over the mountains in Canada was cool, the ride to Banff was spectacular, and the town is incredible. It is surrounded by small mountains, covered in snow. We walked through town to a path by a river. It's funny how the town was crowded, but down by the river was peaceful. Breathtaking vistas at every turn. The best part is being with Eric and laughing and loving every minute of this experience together. The food has been great too! Eric had a seafood linguini, which he loved, and I had a dish that made me feel like a judge on Top Chef. It was chicken stuffed with Gouda and prosciutto, served over a walnut risotto with a tomato coulee and fresh veggies. So yummy! For dessert we shared a Spanish strawberry catalana, which very closely resemble creme brûlée and was divine! We're letting dinner settle and then headed to the hot springs under our hotel for a soak. More later...

Greetings from Banff


This is Eric posting at the moment. We just arrived in the town of Banff. It is breathtaking here. I am so excited to be going skiing again after about a 9 year hiatus. Jenny is a wonderful wife to agree to come here for spring break. The fact that she seems as excited as I am reconfirms that I married an amazing woman. Well, I will post more when there is more to tell. We are going to explore the town tonight. Hope everyone is doing well.
