#10

August 12th, 2009

I was tagged for a picture post by our favorite Clueless but Hopeful Mama. This is the first picture post that I’ve ever been tagged for so I’m wicked excited. Also, I needed to post and had nothing really to say, so it’s a “two birds” sort of post, too. Score!

Simple Rules:
-Open your first photo folder.
-Scroll down to the 10th photo.
-Post that photo and story on your blog.
-Tag five others (or more) friends to do the same.

This was taken on 7/17/03. It’s Lake Louise in Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. I took my parents to Banff for a week. It was the last vacation we took together as a family. I met Gerald in October of that same year and my mother was diagnosed with cancer again in November.

Just like CBHM, I can’t only post on picture. I have such warm, loving memories of this trip. I remember getting along so well with my parents and being so proud that I was able to afford to treat them to this vacation.

These were taken at the Calgary zoo. They had the most beautiful botanic gardens.

And here we are on the Crowfoot Glacier at Jasper National Park.

It started raining when we got to Jasper and by the time we made up the eleventy billion steps to the visitor’s center, we were soaked. Hence the hats and plastic rain coat. Classy, huh? Also, please notice how tan I was. I miss the days of tanning and not caring about skin cancer.

Tagging people doesn’t give me Nervous Tummy at all. If you want to do this photo post, then you will. If not, then skip it.

    Isn’t Lake Louise gorgeous? We went there on our honeymoon and would love to go back someday.

    I’ve always wanted to go there too! How about we ditch BlogHer next year and go there? Just kidding. We should go in addition to BlogHer.

    My husband and I keep talking about going there. Isn’t there some big palace like resort there?

    Gorgeous! How cool is it that you were able to treat your folks to what looks like an awesome vacation.

    (Thanks for making me feel less queasy about tagging people.)
