And so we've come to end of the Epic Summer Road Trip. To be honest, I wasn't ready for it to end! We had the best weather imaginable. But I'm getting ahead of myself ...
When we left Penticton we weaved and winded and followed the road to Kanaskis. On the way we stopped at The Enchanted Forest outside of Revelstoke. The kids loved it but I think Reese enjoyed it the most! Unfortunately for Blake the moss and dust in the buildings really bothered his asthma :( That is one thing we discovered during this trip - the smoke from the forest fires throughout BC, AB and Washington did not bother his asthma in the least but the dust and moss at Enchanted Forest did. Good to know! The Enchanted Forest was really cool to see and we're glad we stopped but I forgot to mention what a pain the parking was ... poor Cal had to wiggle and maneuver into a tight spot and that was after attempting to fit in two other spots. God bless him and his patience!! Thanks Cal, we appreciate the work you did to make sure we could visit this cool place ;)
After Penticton it was on to Mt. Kidd! It was a looooong day on the road, made longer of course by our stop at The Enchanted Forest. We arrived at Mt. Kidd right before 9 pm and drove into an ash storm - ash falling from the sky due to forest fires :( I was worried about Blake's asthma but when we woke up the next morning the sky had cleared! We enjoyed a few nights in Mt. Kidd, one of our favorite places but were sad the pool was under construction and closed :( We spent a day in Banff and walked along the Bow River and saw the Bow Falls, which is something we hadn't done before :) And of course we took in the evening entertainment at Mt. Kidd - one of our favorite things to do!! It was nice to finish up our travels, just the 5 of us and in one of our favorite places :)
On August 6th after 22 days and 4527 km's, we arrived back home!! Like my blog post titles have said, it was an Epic Summer Road Trip with my favorite peeps :) Priceless memories!!
