First off I'd like to all welcome the Grown Up Dress Up visitors! For all of you new visitors I want to say as this very moment I'm probably sleeping, yep I know it's the middle of the afternoon but I worked a grave shift last night. So due to that no outfit post until tomorrow! But don't worry I have part 3 of my road trip, part 3 will be the last part of the vaca review. With that said...on to the show!
Welcome to Banff!
Banff is kinda similar to Park City, mountain town with a main street 'drag' that has tons of shops. Everyone walks around in their North Face jackets and black thick leggings, so funny but I fit in great haha
This is one of the view near or camping spot.
Lake Louise...gorgeous!
Lake Moraine (below)
My Mom(No pic), Dad and Jeff all decided they wanted to take the risk of falling into the freezing cold glacier water by walking on the logs...Lets just say my mom totally kicked butt! No one fell in the water, thank goodness!
Next stop we drove to Jasper. For some reason I didn't take any pictures while I was there...It wasn't as picturesque as Banff was, but the drive there was amazing and well worth it!
In the background is a huge glacier, at one time this glacier was as deep as the Eiffel tower is high. CRAZY!
On our way home we stopped in Coeur D'Alene and saw my best friend Sarah! I love you Smalls!!
Well that's all for the vaca to Canada! It was super fun and I was so happy to share the experience with my parents and show the Hubs these amazing places!

Since I'm working today and I only own about 10 pair of scrubs and no one wants to see scrubs over and over I decided to do the second post of my recent road trip.
So we left off from part 1 when we arrived in Glacier National Park. This is in Glacier National Park Going to the Sun Road. It's GORGEOUS! Lots of waterfalls, lots of great views, and lots of pull offs for amazing pictures!
When you get to the top there are actual glaciers! It was fun playing in the snow in July. I was going to lay down and do a snow angel but believe it or not the glacier was really soft and I would have gotten soaking wet. I imagined the glacier to be hard compact almost ice...nope not at all!
My cute parents soaking their feet in the freezing water!
Because we didn't have a shower, but we had a HUGE beautiful lake next to our camp spot we all decided to jump in for a nice refreshing dip. The water temperature was surprisingly warm for Montana. I'm being dead serious, I hate cold water and it usually takes me like 20minutes to get into a pool because I believe they are all cold.
The next day we packed up and headed out to the next destination, Banff Canada. Here are some shots on our way there.
I think someone was sick of driving...haha
This was on the Canadian side of Glacier National Park and it was so windy that I seriously could be held up by the wind. It was one of the best times every, reminded me of being a kid playing in a huge wind storm.
The Prince of Wales house that was turned into a hotel.
There is part 2, hope you enjoyed it. Part 3 of the road trip to come soon!

Wow are you surprised that I have pictures and stories from my long road trip already? I am considering what's been going on since I got home! Here's a little run down of the vacation and why we went on it.
(yes that is me in my over-size sweatshirt, black high-tops, travel souvenir hat, and awesome backpack!)
Of coarse boys being boys HAD to pull over to go into the Army Surplus Warehouse. Notice how Hubs has a bag full of goodies...yes he bought stuff. They were both in heaven!
Lots of hay growing in Idaho. Who would have thought Idaho was so flat.
Look how happy my dad is, he's so excited to be driving to his favorite place every, Montana!!
Largest coke products ever! My whole family could drink this thing in probably one month, we keep coke in business haha
Once we got to Missoula we stayed in a hotel and slept. The next day we headed off to Glacier National Park. We found a camp spot (which was super lucky), last one in the campground we wanted to stay in! We then unloaded and set up where we would be staying for 2 nights. What do you think of our camp?
So why did we pick this campground out of all the campgrounds in GNP?
This is why!
Until part 2...peace out!

That's how far our 'little' road trip ended up being. It was a lot of driving, a lot of camping, and a lot of public bathrooms(which I HATE!). Overall it was a great trip and we saw some amazing sights. I'd do it all over again if I could. Can't wait to share pictures soon.
On another note today I'm guest posting over at this blog. Sarah went on vacation, that lucky girl and I hope she went somewhere amazing and is having a blast! Head on over to her blog and check it out, it's addicting!
Alright I'm off to get ready to go to my cousins farewell, he's leaving on his mission to Germany in a week. I'm so excited for him to start his journey but will miss him a lot!

My cute hubby and i will be hitting our 5 Year Anniversary this march...yes you read right i said 5! Well we want to go somewhere exciting but we can't decide where. So we need some suggestions on amazing places to spend a week or so, we don't really want to jump the pond and we've been to every western state and we are ready to venture east. I've been to the major eastern cities but my hubby hasn't so any suggestions is good. I'm excited and want to start getting this trip all scheduled.
Thanks
Nikki
