Every year we head to Emerald Lake Lodge for our
anniversary but unfortunately it was not in
the budget this year. Our house is almost
built and there is nothing about home building
that is easy and stress free including the build up
to close. That being said, we did end up both
taking the day off work and heading to Banff in the
early afternoon. It was a quick trip but it
was nice to spend the day together. Our schedules have
not matched in almost 6 weeks, so we haven't
had a day off together in that long!
We decided to go up to gondola, as neither of us
had been up there before. Not worth the money
if you spend any sort of time in the mountains. If you
don't spend time in the mountains, the gondola
would probably be amazing. The views
are pretty spectacular. After that we hit
up Beavertails and had a delicious fried feast.
Glad we headed home after that though. Fried food
is not so easy on the tummy!
Overall it was an okay day. I think the disappointment
of not being at Emerald Lake ended up bumming
both of us out more than we thought. Oh well.
Hopefully we have many more anniversaries
to spend out at the lodge.
