I jest. It would be impossible to fully experience the Rockies and the city of Calgary in a lifetime let alone three days. But we made our best effort to hit the highlights during their stay and with some careful planning and a bit of luck, we saw some amazing things: (click on the photos to see them larger)
Bow Lake
Peyto Lake
The Athabasca Glacier
We rode this vehicle on to the glacier and then walked around on that bad boy.
A Bald Eagle
(across from our building in Calgary!)
Moraine Lake
Lake Louise
The Banff Springs Hotel
Elk on the Banff Springs Golf Course
Not bad for such a short visit, right? During our drives to these amazing sights, we had plenty of time to catch up with one another and then, after the car was safely parked at home, we shared some great food and drink. We were all hoping for a weekend like this- time with some great company while doing interesting things. Mission accomplished.
Caryl, The pictures are just breathtaking, beautiful. So glad you all had a great time!

The last photo makes me laugh every time. It was supposed to be a regular old group shot, but it looks like Jeff is about to make a speech! ha!
