Roadtrip Time!

My husband made good use of the long weekend and got out of town.
We flew out to Calgary, stayed the night, then drove home. It's amazing how beautiful our country is. (BC in particular of course!!!!)

A few pics from our journey:

As we left Vancouver....


Westjet Ad?


I just couldn't get over the beauty of the mountains!




A lot more flat than the Rockies!


We stopped at "Jack Astors" for lunch. I couldn't get over all the Elvis stuff!!!!


After that we headed out to Springbank Airport. We have a friend who is a flight instructor out there, and he offered to take us up in a little (VERY LITTLE) plane.





So... again, in the air we went!
(this was a little bit more nerve racking than flying Westjet!!!!)
Especially since my husband was allowed to fly - with NO experience!






Pretending to be brave for the picture

Sounds like you had a great weekend!! I, too, would be terrified if my husband was allowed to fly a little plane like that....eek!

Very cool airplane pics! I think I would be too scared to go up in such a small plane!

Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend! My brother is a flight instructor and he flies those little planes all the time. It's incredibly nerve wracking being in such a small aircraft being flown by your only sibling who is responsible for you needing stitches when you were 4.
