What a wonderful weekend we had! Nothing like relaxing and just being together for the whole weekend. We arrived in Canmore around 5:00ish on Friday evening. Our drive was quite uneventful, and quiet. For supper we went to an Italian restaurant in Canmore. Not bad, but I probably wouldnt go back. After that we got ready to head to the hot springs. It was nice just to relax and be together. We didnt stay too long before we decided to head back to the hotel and watch some tv. Our hotel had sleep number beds which to be honest I wouldnt invest in. Not the most comfortable bed Ive ever slept in.
Saturday morning we got up for breakfast and headed out to the gondola. Because we had voucher through our package, the hotel was supposed to give us our tickets but they didnt have any. One of the guys at the front desk called and got it sorted out but once we got to the gondola there was still a bit of an issue. I didnt think it was that big of a deal but when we arrived back to our room that afternoon there was a card to apologize for the inconvenience and 2 drink tickets for us!
The gondola was nice. We hung out for a few hours and did a bit of a hike. After we got back down the mountain we did some shopping on main st Banff, and then headed back to Canmore for some lunch and then a nap before our dinner reservation in Banff. I took a nice hot bath and was able to relax in the quiet. I loved it!
Our dinner was really nice, and very enjoyable. After we finished eating we went back to the hotel and sat in the lounge where there were 2 couches for us to sit on and have our drinks and an appetizer. We sat by the fireplace, and watched UFC. Not exactly my idea of romantic, but it was so nice to be able to just sit and hang out.
Sunday morning we got up for breakfast, did a bit of shopping and then headed out of town. We made it home in just under 4 hours.
Eli did so good with his Grandmas. He slept 12 hours straight for both of them, and was only a tiny bif confused when they traded off on Saturday night. He was a tad but confused when we arrived home and wasn't too sure what to think of us, but warmed up quickly. He kept saying "Mommy." My mother in law was telling me all of the things they had him eating, things which we've given him before which he would just spit out. Stir fry, chicken, all sorts of stuff. And tonight he showed us how good he has been eating. Lots of chicken, rice, veggies, its great!
Another thing he has also been doing over the weekend is talking alot more! He wants to copy everything you say. If he wants something and you say "Say Please, Eli" he says "beeze" he was saying light earlier, he tried to say zipper... its just crazy what a chatter bug he is, and how much he understands! I feel like he's grown up alot just over a few days of not seeing him!
Our weekend was awesome, but Im glad to be home. Andy has tomorrow off so it'll be a nice day to relax at home and get back into our schedule. We were so blessed to be able to get away and have this time together. The time away was great!!
