Another reservation has been made!

Woo hoo! Another reservation has been made! This one is for the Lake Louise Gondola (http://www.lakelouisegondola.com/dining.php) which also includes a buffet lunch. We'll do this on Friday, June 28 after getting into Canmore the day before. And, before we do the Banff Gondola on Monday, July 1! So much fun, I can hardly wait!

Literally, I CAN NOT wait.....4 weeks can't come soon enough. Scott and I went grocery shopping on our lunch hour today to pick up some of the non-perishable food we're taking. Why shopping so soon? I don't know. I guess I just like to torture myself thinking that this trip is just around the corner. I know it will "be here before I know it" but right now that just doesn't seem possible.

I was chatting with a friend yesterday and she suggested writing about this in my next blog, "Things I'm going to do while Scott is driving." Well, here are a few of her ideas: knitting, reading, playing the license plate game, car bingo, scrapbooking...and I added: the alphabet game and Trivial Pursuit. There are just a few problems with some of the suggestions.

1. I don't knit.
2. I get sick while reading in the car.

So that leaves some games that might get a little boring after the first hour.  So, what are your ideas for what I should do while Scott is driving?

The same friend and I were chatting again today and came up with these fun facts about traveling across the border. You can only bring the following amounts of liquor into Canada:

* 53 ounces (1.5 litres) of wine; or
* 40 ounces (1.14 litres) of liquor; or
* A total of 40 ounces (1.14 litres) of wine and liquor; or
* 24 x 355 ml (12 oz.) containers of beer.

And, as my friend pointed out, you can't bring your drugs across either. Good to know; thanks for the heads up.

Looks yummy, uh?!

Excitement is brewing!

We've finished up the weekend camping trips and are getting ready for the BIG one. Only 5 weeks to go....reservations are complete, 5th wheel is in getting a tune up and looking pretty, and the grocery list has been started. We have something planned for almost every weekend leading up to our trip and combined with 40-hour work weeks, we certainly don't have idle time on our hands. But our weekend mornings are still spent drinking coffee and reading all of the books we have about Jasper, Banff, Calgary, etc. And lists are still being made in hopes that we don't forget anything!

Some of the things I am most looking forward to, besides the rest and relaxation from our everyday lives, are: the Jasper Tramway (http://jaspertramway.com/), the Columbia Icefield (http://www.explorerockies.com/columbia-icefield/?utm_source=google-adwords&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=sightseeing-tours-search), and the Oh Canada Eh! dinner show (http://www.atthecorner.ca/venue/oh-canada-eh-packages.html) - cheesy, I know! But doesn't this look like fun?!

I can totally see Scott dressed up like this!

In the meantime, we've got birthdays to celebrate, Father's Day and our last one leaving the nest. Kevin will be moving into his own apartment while we are on our big trip. He is sharing it with his cousin, Tyler who will be attending PCC this fall. And with the anticipation of Baby G coming in November, there are lots of exciting changes in the Moore household this year!
