The Canadian Rockies- our 25th anniversary

We left Wenatchee on Sunday, January 10th for a trip to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We had a great drive up stopping in the cutest hotel in Cranbrook, B.C. on the way up here.

We reserved a cabin for two nights at a place called Storm Mountain Lodge. It was a small cabin with a wood burning fireplace - very romantic. With the room came dinner on Monday evening. It was a really nice dinner in their lodge.

On our anniversary, Tuesday, the 12th, we headed out for a snowshoe at Lake Louise. We did the snowshoe to a lookout back towards Chateau Lake Louise. After the snowshoe we took some pictures near the Chateau and then went inside for a glass of wine looking out on the lake.

We then headed back to the cabin. We had a nice fire and then Bob decided to go get his jeans out of the truck. He didn't want to put his boots on so I handed him his crocs. He went out to get the jeans and couldn't find them. He came back in and said 'boy those crocs are slippery'. You would think that would give him a clue. But, nope, back out he went to look for the jeans, and yep you got it - he fell right on his back on the granite steps. So, guess where we spent our 25th anniversary? Try the emergency room at the hospital in Banff. And what did we have for our anniversary dinner - try a McDonald's hamburger at about 10 that night. This was after spending about 3 hours at the emergency room. They took x-rays and fortunately nothing was broken.

So, for the next few days Bob has been nursing his back. Fortunately, by Saturday he was able to do a 3 mile roundtrip hike in Johnson Canyon. And, on Sunday, we were able to do another 3 miles of snowshoeing. We did two hikes shorter hikes - one to Marble Canyon and one to the Paint Pots. We leave for home tomorrow and will post some amazing pictures when we get there.
