Canada - 10 Year Anniversary Trip


Matt and I went visited the Canadian Rockies last week to celebrate our ten year wedding anniversary. We had an amazing time! We stayed in Banff, at Emerald Lake, and Lake Louise, and also visited Morraine Lake. I really have never seen anything like the color of those lakes. It is amazing!  It was such a luxury to have so much uninterrupted time together. We spent our time hiking, eating, reading, resting, and of course enjoying the amazing scenery and weather. There is something about being in the mountains that is so rejuvenating and refreshing. I wish I could go every year!

 Ahhhhhhhhh.....
 So much yummy food

 At the top of Big Beehive. A gazebo in the clouds!

 We did not have the best weather. It was rainy and overcast much of the time we were there, but we made the best of it. Here we are after a rainy day hike. We were freezing!
 This was the view from our balcony at Emerald Lake. Doesn't get much better than that!
 We spent two hours in this hot tub after that rainy hike. Matt was totally in his happy place. :) The man LOVES hot tubs!

We were gone five nights and definitely missing the kiddos by the end of it. But, they had a BLAST in Houston with all their grandparents. They were very well cared for (and maybe a little spoiled?) while we were away. :) Thanks, SO MUCH to our incredible parents for taking such good care of them so we could go! We are so grateful!
