Our monthly blog circle’s theme is “life” for this month.  At the bottom of the post is the link to the next person’s blog.  Follow it around to see everybody’s version of life!

With the lovely May long weekend, we decided to spoil ourselves with a few days in Banff.  On Saturday we enjoyed taking the gondola up Sulphur Mountain & in the incredible views from there.

Sunday afternoon we went to the Banff Springs Hotel for Afternoon Tea.  (If you have children 5 year & under, they eat free at Fairmont properties)   For the Afternoon Tea, the kids got the same amount of food as we did, though they did substitute PB&J sandwiches for the Smoked Salmon Sashimi for the girls!  They even picked their own teas – Lysia had mint & Breeya chose Bubblegum.  Yes, Bubblegum tea….ew….I can just feel the Brits cringing at the thought! We throughly enjoyed & savored every moment & every bite…a princess tea in the princess hotel, according to our little ladies!

Mommy & Breeya followed up Afternoon Tea with several hours in the Banff Mineral Springs ER.  The two were not related though, & thankfully, Miss B is feeling much better.

Monday before we headed home, we stopped at Bow Falls & went to Surprise Corner to see the Banff Springs Hotel from there.  An excellent, & somewhat spoiled weekend in the mountains!
