Washington's Dry Side
Waiting in line to cross the border...
The scenery was changing rapidly!
Imagine waking up to that view every morning!
Purple Mountains Majesty

Leaving Seattle behind was sad but we were really excited to get to Canada. It was the first time for the girls entering a new country and the first time Mike and I had been to Canada together. And, neither of us had ever been to British Columbia or Alberta, so we were thrilled!
The landscape really started to change as we drove up Hwy 95, and the Canadian Rockies started to rise into view. With the Selkirk Mountain Range off to the East and the Columbia Mountain Range to the West, the Rockies rose all around us to impress us with their majesty. You couldn't take your eyes off the view that encompassed us mile after splendid mile. It was mesmerizing, especially as sunset was approaching, setting the snowy peaks aglow and turning the sky into a rainbow of cotton candy deliciousness.
I was even more excited to see Banff National Park now that I had had a taste, a tiny morsel, of what great feast was waiting for me the next day. I was not disappointed so stay tuned for more photos coming soon!
P.S. You'd think I was hungry writing this post. :)
