I sleep like a baby on Trains

Grant and I just returned home from our Great Canadian Adventure. It was cold but we had a blast! Below are my top 10 favorite things about Canada and several pictures from our trip.

10. High Tea in Toronto - I tried so hard to be fancy and eat all the food served but I almost lost my cucumber sandwich on the white tablecloth
9. Ice canyon walk - On New Year's Eve we took a hike through a frozen river canyon. It was awesome
8. Underground system in Toronto and Montreal - You could walk around the whole downtown area and never go outside. In the tunnels where mall, food courts, movie theaters, Doctor's offices, grocery stores, etc.
7. Animals - We didn't see as many animals as Grant wished but he did get up close and personal with an Elk.
6. Hockey game - We saw the Montreal Canadians vs the Toronto Maple Leafs play. GO HABS!
5. Canadian Rockies - Half of our pictures are of the mountains
4. Beautiful Banff (and Jasper) - These towns were made to look like postcards
3. Snow :) - everywhere, piles and piles. I have never seen so much.
2. The Canadian people - The people where so incredibly generous. One group helped us scalp tickets to the hockey game
1. TRAIN!! - I loved the train ride. We had our own little (I mean small) cabin and ate all of our meals in the dinning car.

What next? Maybe the Orient Express!!
