Road Trip Post #1

Well our road trip started with a journey to Jasper. Seeing as the hotels in the Jasper area were quite outrageous, we decided to camp out for the evening. When i say camping, just a tent and sleeping bags; no stove or food! Anyways, the night got a little chillier during the evening and we did not have a sleeping bag for Ethan (I only had a liner...what was I thinking). Anyways, in the morning, Ethan woke up with a very runny nose. To this date he is still has snot coming out of the nose!

Anyways, after we pack up, we went for a leisurely stroll on the paddleboats at Jasper Park Lodge. This was Ethan's first time on one and it seemed like he enjoyed it. (Videos to follow). Once we finished we made our way to Kamloops, BC where we met up with some friends and stayed the night. Since it was 37 degrees out, we decided to hit the pool and then enjoy some food (BP's feeds your kids for free if you purchase a meal over $10!).

The next day we we're off to Vancouver on a very quick drive through the Coquihalla Highway. we were flying on the #5 until we hit the Trans Canada where things slowed down considerably. Nonetheless, we made it in good time.

While in Vancouver, we met up with friends and ate, went walking in the parks and playgrounds, walked along 4th Ave, and Granville Island. We did not cook at home until tonight when it finally cooled down enough inside the condo to actually use the stove and oven.

Ethan has been cranky the past week. I don't blame him as he does not have his own bed to sleep in. So far since we have left Edmonton, he has not slept in a playpen. he has been sleeping with me or Wackie on the bed. In Vancouver, he's been sleeping only with mommy since the bed is not big enough for the three of us! He has also been constipated for the past week and has only passed three times! we have been trying to get him to drink prune juice which is helping a bit. Hopefully he gets better so he is in a better mood...

As for me, we started the WPFG and we are 3-1 in football. We are seeded 4th and will be playing the quarter finals tomorrow. If we win, we move on otherwise we are out! Lot of injuries on the team so hopefully we can stick it out for a few more games.

We will be heading to Seattle on Sunday (the lastest) and I booked a hotel for $80 via Priceline. It is the hotel across from Safeco Field and the pool is on the top of the hotel overlooking the city and Safeco. Sweet! Will be looking into hotels for Portland and Spokane soon!

Well that's about it for now! Catch you up later!
