Winter trip to Banff National Park Something very big happened last week. Huge, in fact. Something that hasn’t happened in years. Finally, 15 months after Baby Connor was born, we went on a trip without our boys. Now, don’t get me wrong – we love traveling with our boys – but let’s be honest, we also love traveling as a couple and family travel can be a lot of work at times. As you can imagine, we were very…

Photo of the Week: Wild Elk in Banff, Alberta
Wild elk crossing the Bow River in Banff National Park, Alberta We captured these beautiful creatures while driving down the section of the Trans-Canada Highway that connects the towns of Lake Louise and Banff. We almost drove right past them but road construction forced us to slow down. It’s one of the few times we’ve been thankful for highway delays! They slowly crossed the glacial river, stopping for a drink every few moments…
