Thanksgiving in Banff - 12/10/'09

I managed to zip out to Banff to enjoy Canadian Thanksgiving with my family. The trip was fantastic, even though it was crazy cold. They had an early snowstorm in the mountains and the temp was around -15C. A lil' too cold for me, but as you can see, hugely gorgeous.

Here's a couple pics from a walk at nearby Lake Minnewanka that my Mom and I did one afternoon. Other than the beauty of the place, another great plus was the small burger shack we found. It was their last day open for the season so we felt lucky that we were able to order some food. Even luckier when we found out the hot-dogs were organic gourmet style and the hot chocolate made from pure melted dark chocolate. MmmMmmmmm...
