| This photo was taken from the car window. It was such an amazing drive! |
 |
| On the Bow Valley Parkway, en route to Lake Louise |
 | |
| Our hotel upgraded us to a loft! It had 2 full bathrooms, and slept 8 - including this murphy bed! We turned one bedroom into a "luggage room." It also was next to the tea house, Pete wasn't sure if Tom was our neighbor :) |
 |
| We ate at the Deer House on the way to the lake, where we enjoyed Elk Ribeye. It was so delicious! Don't worry, it wasn't the same one that crossed the road on the Bow Valley Parkway. |

| We made it just in time for a canoe rental! |

| I let Pete take care of most of the paddling... |
 | |||||||
| ....Which explains why we didn't make it very far |
 | |
| The water is so clear, it makes you want to jump in! That might be a little cold, seeing as it's 32-35F. The water's color is due to "rock flour" that comes from glacial melt. It's so lightweight, it never settles to the bottom, and causes sunlight to reflect the beautiful blue-green color. |

 |
| We decided to go to the Fairmount's Saloon (one of their many restaurants) and enjoy dessert from our high back chairs. |
 |
| Banana split, brownie sundae, and hot cider with a cinnamon stick! They even wrote "Congratulations" on caramelized sugar cookies. As a former dessert girl, I was quite impressed. |
 |
| Antlers were everywhere. On the walls... |
 |
| ...chandeliers... |
 |
| And even my head!! |
i love the zoom of the camera in the dessert pic with pete being all suave in the background, and your hair looks so good in the antler pic! you guys are the best!!
