A Trip to Banff

Austin had to go to a teacher's conference in Banff National Park, so we got to come. The conference is through the teacher's union so they get a generous amount of money to cover their expenses. Some try to use as little as possible so they can keep the rest. One principal came by himself and camped in a tent to save money.  We went with the option of taking the whole family and spending the whole allowance.








We rode the sky tram to the top of the mountains. It was beautiful.








We heard about the hot springs in Banff so we went there. I thought it would be a long activity. It is just a hot tub where you are only suppose to stay in for 10 minutes. I said we were going to stay for an hour so we could get our money's worth. That ended when Carly threw up because she got too hot in the water.

So we went back to our hotel swimming pool and played. 

Banff is really a beautiful place with a TON of tourists. We ate at Spaghetti Factory and Chili's.

Love Banff!
Looks like you had fun!
I took in the Hot Springs in January and only in Canada is one in a swim suit and the life guards are wearing tuques, boots and removing snow from the deck!!
