Winter Road Trip

CrossIron Mills

The long winter months seem to drag, but I don't mind the cold temperature really. It's just that during these months we are usually cooped up at home. Road trips would probably start in the Spring through Summer. Few more months and we'll be hitting the road again, yeheyyy!!!

What I like about road trips is the hotel accommodations, not the trip itself but being able to stay comfortably in a place after a looong trip. I love hotels, the fresh sheets, towels, free breakfast (lol), the queen beds, EVERYTHING!!! I don't mind the cheap hotels either, as long as we have a place to stay for the night unless I plan to stay the whole time in bed and really not go out, I'd probably prefer the more expensive ones. How I wish we could stay for a week in a hotel. That would be FUN :D

The good news is, we didn't have to wait for Spring to go on a road trip. We went to Calgary, a 2 1/2-3hr drive from our city. The weather was good, not too cold nor too windy. A little shopping for the kids, window shopping for Mom and Dad, yummy lunch (or was it a feast?) at Pacific Hut, then back to our rooms at Ramada Limited. We got the cheapest rates and there's not much to expect really considering the price. The kids didn't seem to mind, they're perfectly happy and excited whenever we go on road trips and just like me, they like staying in hotels.

There is so much to see  but everytime we go to Calgary, we always end up at the malls which is not always a good idea (for obvious reasons).  Maybe we'll get to check out the other places next time and definitely scratch the malls from our list :D
