Living My Best Life
After a week of Canada pictures and this post on Facebook: One of my friends had this to say: I have to agree.
…All Good Things
Our “last” day of vacation was in Calgary. After a leisurely breakfast, we got ready to leave. Most of the stuff in Calgary was closed, because it was the Easter holiday, but we did have some time to wander around.
