the turquoise trail

I have to admit that I am definitely buying into the call of the mountains.. they are pretty tough to resist. I recently spent a few days exploring Banff, Lake Louise & Fernie with a friend, and it was absolutely incredible.  Seeing as there isn't too much snow this year, it was more of a sightseeing trip than anything. Here are some of the highlights..  {Lake Minnewanka} So gorgeous.  This view actually makes me speechless.  Something I found really interesting about this lake is that it develops bubbles in the ice which you can see as you are walking!  Nature is awesome. Lake Minnewanka {Wildlife} On our way to Lake Minnewanka, we were lucky enough to see a massive herd of elk!  It was my first time seeing elk outside of a zoo, so I was pretty excited.   Not very much further down the road, we also saw some mountain goats!  They were quite drawn to the salt on my cars tires, so we got really up close and personal with ...

Full of quaint homes, stone walls & history.. I recently had the opportunity to spend a long weekend in Quebec City with a good friend of mine and her family.  It's a gorgeous city to explore, a perfect size to walk around with lots of great views to take in along the way.  It was a pretty laid-back getaway weekend, so i'll just show you a couple of my highlights.. {Montmorency Falls} {Old Quebec City} {Chateau Frontenac} I hope this inspires you to enjoy a trip to Old Quebec City!
