Well, we made it home. Actually we got to Lethbridge about three this afternoon, and did some errands before coming home. It took about an hour, maybe, longer to get home than the all day marathon last Wednesday going out. We took Jen and Dan's suggestion and followed Hwy. #5, the Coquahalla or whatever Trail. It was a very beautiful drive and we enjoyed it. We had never been that way before, so every place and town etc. was a first for us. We spent last night in Golden, and ate at this restaurant that didn't look all that great, but the food was excellent. We got to Golden about nine last night. We had planned on staying at Kamloops, but we got there at six thirty and figured we could be in Golden before eight, which we did, but eight Vancouver time, as we passed through the time change between Kamloops and Golden and arrived at nine mountain time. We left Golden about nine thirty this morning, and we by-passed Calgary by taking the 22 to Black Diamond and then driving east past Okotoks to High River where we had Dairy Queen for lunch. Hey Coopers, you wouldn't recognize south Okotoks along that highway now. There were huge subdivisions past the Okotoks turnoff, along the north side of the highway, and even a big new mall with all kinds of stores plus a Costco. Amazing, but I guess we haven't been there for a few years now.
We're thinking of heading to Edmonton Thursday night to see the Patricks especially "Little Pete".

No matter where you are there's always a bridge to Home
Glad to hear you made it safely. I was just thinking about giving you a call. And I'm happy to hear you got to see some new places along the way. That's always fun. We really enjoyed having you. It seems crazy that we're almost done our time out here. The next two months will go so fast! I hope we haven't made you too anxious about your generous offer of housing. I'm sure we're all wondering how it will go, but once we're into a routine I hope we can have a lot of fun making up for two years apart. And it's only temporary...hee hee.
