We spent a great weekend away in Banff this past weekend. We had planned a Mexico trip this year but we figured that we could have 3 or 4 smaller holidays for the same price. So we splurged a booked a room in the Banff Springs. They had a sale on a suite… and I tell you it was more than a suite. The regular room was fancy enough for us. The suite part of the room was a separate adjoining room with it’s own entrance, bathroom, fireplace, sofas and TV. We had to wander around in there a few times so we felt it was being used since we were paying for it.

When we take these types of holidays we find we have the best time when we make no plans and spend lots of time just snoozing, snacking and watching TV. We also spent a bit of time at the pool, the spa and wandering around the hotel. A trip to Banff would not be complete without a trip to the Candy store on main street and touring the overpriced shops all selling the same tacky tourist stuff. We did manage to find some interesting baby items. If we end up with a boy I need to run back out and pick up the classic ‘boob man’ baby shirt that we saw but could not bring our selves to buy yet.
