This past weekend, we took a mini family holiday to Banff, Alberta {in Banff National Park}. I say ‘mini’ because the area is close enough to be termed our backyard. This photo is
Lake Minnewonka, a short drive from the town of Banff. Beautiful, isn’t it?
Stay tuned for more more posts on our stay in Banff, and our travel review of the
Douglas Fir Resort.
Have you ever been to Banff?
If this is your first time visiting my WW posts,
know that I am anything but Wordless. Ha!
