Our Father’s Day tradition is to spend the day in Banff. We really do live quite close so it would be a shame not to indulge in this special treat at least once a year. It really is a beautiful place! My favorite part of course is that Spirit of Christmas shop on Main Street, yup that’s right, a huge Christmas store filled up all year! My hubby bought me a fabulous ornament this year, at first I tried to protest as it was Father’s Day not Mother’s Day, but then I just really wanted that ornament, it is so my favorite already! (Thank you hubby). This year we were actually a week late because our girl’s dance recital was on the real Father’s Day, good thing we are so flexible. Our first stop is always lunch, this year hubby decided he wanted a steak so we decided to go to the Keg as it is a family favorite and we haven’t been for ages! As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a delicious looking Sunday Lunch Buffet, as this is not offered at our Calgary locations we didn’t know that this was available. As good as the buffet looked we had all already decided what we wanted so we decided to stick with the original plan and order off the menu. Hubby got his steak, I tried out the burger. It had a smoky flavor, everything was fresh it was really good, the best part was the sweet potato fries with rosemary mayo, my I have missed these. Delicious just like I remembered. Maybe next year we will try out that buffet!

Wild Bill’s Legendary Saloon-Banff
The last two posts have let you know all about my weekend adventures, and they are not done yet. First of all, my husband made me wake up at 6:15 on Monday morning. What, wake up early on our weekend away?? Not only that but he didn’t tell me why. Why oh why are we not sleeping in on our one night away. As we were checking out in the lobby, in walk our friends from church. Hmmm, this is getting even more interesting! They husbands had been planning this together, so they finally told us what we were doing as the presented us tickets to go see Live with Kelly in Banff. Yay! It was a great show and the best part was our friend Ryan got picked out of the crowd to meet Kelly and go on Live T.V to present “the Canadian word of the day”. After the show was over we headed into town for lunch at Wild Bill’s Saloon. We had a birthday party to go to that evening so I suggested sharing Nachos with my husband so I wasn’t completely stuffed. Well then the most ginormous Nachos came, I ate, I was stuffed, plan fail! But the Nachos were amazing and it was totally worth it. We didn’t have much more time, as we had to get back to Calgary to pick up our kids, so we made a quick trip to the Candy Store and The Spirit of Christmas and then the adventures of the weekend were over. I have the best husband ever! Thank you for all the wonderful surprises sweetie!
