My sisters, 2 close friends, and I headed out of town to the mountains. Canmore to be exact! Beautiful! It was incredible to get away! We booked our hotel a few weeks ago, and what a great deal we got! We stayed in a place called Copperstone Resort in a little hamlet about 5 minutes away from Canmore. The little hamlet is called Dead Man's Flat. Basically, it is a little little hamlet that has nothing but a few hotels, and gas stations. Thats it! When I read about it online I heard mixed reviews but we took the chance!! It cost us each $50 for the weekend at this resort. Am I ever glad I found it!! It was incredible! A beautiful kitchenette, with granite counter tops, complete with a washer, dryer, fireplace, 2 bedrooms, and a balcony!! It was wonderful, and perfect for us 5 girls to stay in!
We left on Friday early evening, and arrived just before 10pm. The drive there was only 4 hours, but we did alot to entertain ourselves; which you will see some pictures to show proof!
As soon as we got there 4 out of 5 of us went into the hot tub. Kristin stayed back because she cant fully enjoy the hot tub as a pregnant mama to be. But we were lucky cause by the time we got back our snacks for the evening were fresh out of the oven and ready to eat!! Mmmmm.
One of the perks about this hotel was also that they had DVD players in each hotel rooms (in the den area) and you could pick a movie from the front desk to watch. There was about 12 movies to choose from by the time we picked one, so Chelsey and I decided the movie to watch was Princess Diaries 2. Yes, you read right!! We watched about 20 minutes and then went to bed.
In the morning we got up around 9am, and had breakfast. Bacon, eggs, toast, and fruit!! So yummy! Then we took our sweet time getting ready, and ventured into Canmore to do shopping. Apparently, we picked a good weekend to go because they help an event called Arts Peak, where they feature local artists around the town. Very cool, there was also a small farmers market (or Fringe, as some/one of the girls.... Chelsey called it!!) We took some fun pictures there too!! The candy store was also a place we visited and bought a few small items. Then back to the hotel for lunch which was Cesar Salad with chicken breast. The day was great! We went in the hot tub, had some drinks, finished Princess Diaries 2 with a glass of wine, while in towls, then went into Banff for supper, did some wandering around, and then back to the hot tub, and into bed!! It was such a great weekend away. It was well needed, and I sure enjoyed it!!
Here are some pictures for you to enjoy.... dont judge!
We decided to give our weekend away a name. Chelsey, and I came up with: FIRST ANNUAL GIRLS WEEKEND AWAY. Also known as: FAGWA ?? Clearly we didnt think that through, especially since next year it'll be SAGWA. Second Annual Girls Weekend Away. I think we may need to re consider what our girls weekend is called. Until next year! Thanks girls for a great weekend of laughing, relaxing, and just being together!!
