Jasper
We
finally made it to Jasper without major mishap.
No, wait a minute - there was a big argument over whether we saw bighorn sheep or mountain goats at the top of the Banff gondola (photo evidence: it was sheep). This was significant because Kevin had gotten a stuffed bighorn sheep (plush toy, not mounted trophy) as a souvenir and was concerned that it wasn't what we had seen. Otherwise a great drive.
- Speaking of a great drive...
For the first
time in any of our lives, we went out on a real 18 hole golf course.
The lodge has a great course as part of it. The views along the way were
stunning.
We didn't break any records, or windows (or wind), but we had a blast. Here's some pictures of us out there. Eric loved driving the cart, even though he wasn't technically allowed to be doing it. He did a great job at it. Kevin is taking a practice swing here, which is why the ball is still sitting on the ground. The other picture is of Sarah and me on the 15th green. You can see the lodge behind us across the lake.
We took a lesson the next day on the driving range. The guys found some practice balls (yellow) that had been sliced open. That and colored soda pop lead to the pictures below. For everyone's safety there aren't bigger versions of the images linked to them.
