ROADTRIP!





Me and the hubby were recently had the chance to go on a (kid free!) road trip.
We started in Kelowna BC, (well actually, he started at home, and I flew out to Kelowna to meet him.) and across BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario.
This was a huge chck off our bucket list and it was a drive to remember thats for sure! I can tell you this though, I dont know how people drive for a living, that was a loooong time in the car.
Canada is a huge and beautiful country, I feel so blessed that we were able to do this. We saw the gorgeous Rocky mountains in BC and alberta, the prairies were endless and had a solemn beauty to them that i didnt expect, and Northern Ontario with its lakes and hills has some of the most unique views Ive ever seen.

I would love to do this drive again, with a little more time. We spent three days driving in total, and I would love having a little more time to explore. It was a great trip though, and it gave me and my hubby a little time to reconnect and just be us, which we really needed.

We started off our trip with a few days at a friends house in Kelowna. We toured around a bit and I even saw wild mountain goats! Kelowna is such a beautiful place.

















On the first day of our drive our goal was to reach Airdrie Alberta just outside of Calgary. The weather was perfect for driving and the views were amazing! I spent half the drive in absolute awe of the mountains, they really are breathtaking.








We made such good time coming through the mountains that we were bale to stop at Lake Louise, ive always wanted to see it, and i actually got to walk on the lake! It was freezing though, like minus fifteen plus windchill freezing so we didn't stay too long.


The next day we went through Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The praires are really flat ! Like crazy flat. I always thought those old jokes about watching your dog run away for three days were exaggerations, but you can see for miles!



Just before sunset the sun hit all the fields and turned them gold. It was amazing.


Day three saw us back in Ontario and we started driving just in time to see what has to be one of the most beautiful sunrises in the history of the world.

Ive heard a of of people argue about what the most beautiful view in the world is, but I can tell you, with 100% surety, that it lies here in Canada. It was waiting for us when we pulled into my moms driveway. My girls.
