Canadian RoadTrip 2014

We're off!

We visited long time friends and their new baby in Calgary, AB this summer and made it into a family road trip from Seattle to Calgary - Banff - Kelowna - ending in Vancouver.  We left a few days after school was out at the end of June and returned the first week in July, and although we missed the 4th of July celebrations, Vancouver had an unexpected fireworks show over the bay for their southern neighbors.  We also were in Calgary for Canada day, so we celebrated both countries this year.  Vic's aunt, cousin and his cousin's wife live in Vancouver, so we had dinner with them too.   Here are some highlights from the Canadian trip.
