I had the chance to go to Banff for the last 2 days of July. It was so much fun. Three other friends and I went and just got away for 2 full days of complete and total silly fun. I'll post pictures to go along with it at some point. It was nice just to feel free. We did a couple of hikes, one of which I lost my prescription sunglasses. Now that was fun. They just plopped down into the river, but, thank goodness, it wasn't too deep. I just pulled my pant leg up, grabbed a tree that was there and grabbed for them with my toes. Katy helped hold my arm, Tasca helped a little and wonderful Amber took pictures. It was quite amusing and I will post pics of those now.
Today, I sit and do some work and then this afternoon I go finish packing and then head out the door. Fee and I are heading down to the states for hopefully a nice get away. I'm a little worried about a few things but that's not important. I'm going to try and ignore all that and just have some plain old fun. We're going to check out some of the old haunts of mine in Kalispell and area.
Then head to Seattle for a couple of days. Onward to a rain forest on the west coast of Washington, and then off to Portland, and finally to Utah. I just hope I don't lose my mind from all the driving, but it should be fine. And yes, I will be doing all the driving. You really think that I'm going to let someone drive my brand new car????
I hope that this trip gives me the refresher I need and the courage to quit my job when I come back. I still haven't done that and I'm worried about how I'm going to do it and how the bosses are going to take it. I still know without a doubt that I am doing the right thing, but that doesn't mean it's an easy thing to do. I am just glad that I already have my start date and my Australia tickets booked. That just forces me to do what I need to.
So, here's hoping I survive the road trip and have fun. It's going to be a long 2 weeks, but the good news is Fee has to be back to work the Friday so I'll still have 4 days of holidays when I get back. Now there will be some relaxing going on then!!!!!
This is the picture of me digging for the sunglasses with my "magic toes"
This one is when I FINALLY got them.
