Short of drawing straws or pulling a number out of the hat, a cozy warm booth at the California Pizza Kitchen became witness to our triumphant moment, when we both decided on traveling to the majestic Canadian Rockies.
This was a 10-Day trip of Western Canada, including the Canadian Rockies, National Parks in Alberta and British Columbia, Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle.
Each day's stay includes several highlights that are permanently etched in our minds and remind us everyday of this glorious and god-gifted place. More detailed pictures will be posted with each entry...so continue to read on!
