I’m back and feeling so much better guys! Just getting everything off of my chest helped me clear my head and now everything is looking up 🙂 now I’ll regale you with my Calgary tales!
Ok so by Saturday I wasn’t really riding solo anymore. But the drive home on Sunday was looming which was a total bummer because I’m a chatty bitch and hate driving alone.
Anywho… We got up early-ish Saturday and made our way to Banff! Not a bad drive, it’s so close to Calgary.
Once we got there, we explored the shops a little and then decided to follow the Bow River down to the falls.
I’ve never been before, despite being in Banff countless times. It was super beautiful. I love any kind of falls. It surprisingly wasn’t very touristy, which is strange for a Saturday. I guess we lucked out!!After the falls, we wandered into the Legislature grounds and walked through the not yet planted garden. I’ll go back and get pictures for ya’ll later in the summer when it’s not just dirt there haha I’ve been before during the July/August weekends, and man do they ever go all out. It’s beautiful and a must see. It’s free and easily accessible, so if you’re shopping down the main drag you have no excuse not to go!
Basically, the garden is beautiful and that’s where I’ll be married. Beautiful flowers and a mountain view, what more could a girl ask for?
Unfortunately we couldn’t spend all day wandering Banff, since we were going back to Calgary for a bbq/party that my sister’s friends were throwing.
Despite being Recruitment Chair, VP Membership Educator, and then President throughout my time in the sorority, I’ve got social anxiety like you wouldn’t believe. I think I’ve just gotten good at hiding it though. Wine helps, not even gonna lie.
So Saturday night was basically us getting pretty drunkypants. And me finding a new Game of Thrones buddy to talk to and tell my lame theories to. Good night had by all!
Drunk Kelsey is such a gem though. She updated the iOS on my phone for me so now I have new emojis (something I’ve put off doing for 6 months). But she also set my alarm for 8am so I won’t give her too much credit.
Sunday wasn’t too crazy, slept in, got up to go get some pho. Went to see Captain America (Sebastian Stan and Chris Evans, good lord you have my heart).
Then next thing you know the day was over and it was time for the dreaded drive home DUN DUN DUUUUN. It rained, which kept things interesting. I think I’ll download an audiobook next time! I actually don’t mind driving in the rain, I’m a good driver (but I’m sure everyone says this about themselves) and there’s something very peaceful about being able to watch the rain.
What keeps you guys entertained in the car?
