Weekend Away

We are headed away this weekend to Emerald Lake. This is our favorite New Year's Eve location. We've only experienced the lake during the winter and we've always enjoyed the activities - snowshoeing, skating, x-country skiing. It's a beautiful, relaxing getaway.

When we were there in January, we woke up early on New Years Day to get in a full day of snowboarding @ Lake Louise - expecting a huge breakfast would be ready, as per their advertised times. Sadly, it wasn't and we settled for their continental b-fast. When we checked out, they asked us about our stay & we mentioned our disappointment. As a result, they gave us a free night stay w/breakfast....so we are using it this weekend - yeah!

Here's our view of the lake when we last saw it...Brrr.

And here's what the website promises us in the Spring/Summer.
We'll be sure to let you know when we get back!
Oh! - final renovations (countertops & back splash) to be completed this weekend while we are away. When we return Sunday night...it should be done! Hopefully all very blog-worthy - so you can get the update.
Enjoy the weekend.
