Day 16

Last full day in Banff and we spent it at a really slow pace.  After a late breakfast we headed to the Cascade Gardens for a slow stroll.  Next was a drive along the Banff golf course and a stop along the river for some relaxing rock skipping.  After pletty of relaxation by the Bow river (and a stop to get some more milkshakes) we took a tour on the Sulfur Mtn Gondola which took us to the top of Sulfur Mtn for some great views of the mountains and valleys around us.  Now we are trying to decide where to eat dinner (like I said, relaxing day today).  Tomorrow we head out of Banff and go through Kootenay NP on our way back to Spokane.  PS. The temp today is in the upper 50's, low 60's.

    Nice day! You guys are going to turn into milkshakes if you have anymore!!!

    I'll make sure Mrs. P has milkshakes for dinner next time Logan visits our place.

    Glad you could relax today.

    Enjoy the rest of the evening and your travels tomorrow.

    Mr. Pursel

    Logan,

    Granddad said that it's a good thing you all are getting in lots of walking or you would be as big as a mountain after all the milkshakes!

    Kendal, liked the picture of the pretty blonde among the flowers.

    You all look great and relaxed in all the pictures. So glad you could enjoy a nice, easy day for a change.

    My vision is still very blurry from the dilation so will make this one short.

    Love to all, Grandma
