After a lot of physical activity, the plan today was to do the opposite!

Today is the Saturday of the Family Day weekend in Alberta. When we were here last year, we learned quickly that it means things get busy. In particular, the ski hill will be packed. Therefore, we had planned to not ski today, but instead booked treatments at the hotel spa. It was a very relaxing way to spend the day.

Also because it was a busy weekend, we made sure that we had booked dinner reservations well in advance (months in advance, actually). Tonight, we were heading down to the Banff Springs Hotel, to one of our favourite restaurants. A dinner at Castello has become a bit of a tradition for us whenever we’re out this way.

Here we are at our regular table!

After a lovely dinner, we headed back toward Lake Louise. The weather was picking up a bit, so we were glad to have booked the early 6PM sitting for dinner, so as not to be driving back too lake in the winter conditions.
