On the Road - day 14

It's funny, how on days when I think I'll get up early, I sleep in instead....I was awoken this morning at 845...I never sleep till 845...which when you want to get on the road by 10 means you need to boogie.

Try telling that to my kids ... yeah right. Thing 2 was not interested in daddy dressing her, nor in getting dressed in general actually. Finally we are on the road...and actually at the hoped for time. Leaving Armstrong ...bye mommy :( ...leaving Enderby...where hubby realizes he forgot his other shoes in Armstrong...but on we go...leaving Grindrod...leaving Mara...leaving Sicamous. Trans Canada here we are...on to Revelstoke. We arrive, play in the park, wait for dad...phone mom to check on dad...and I'm told I forgot my bathroom bag in Armstrong...yikes...finally there's dad...whom I hit up to put my bag on the Greyhound for Golden tonight.

We had a nice lunch with Dad (aka Papa Dana) then continued en route for Golden. We stopped at Rogers Pass (rain of course) and arrived in Golden around 330 bc time...somehow we missed the sign to change our clocks so actually arrived about 4 30. We ...after a small detour... found our hotel and checked in. It's a nice enough sized room, with a small table for 2, 2 beds and a bathroom...and a bar fridge.

We went to the attached restaurant for supper with two friends from home. Pud and Chris left the Wells over 2 years ago and never got to meet Thing 2...Thing 1 was younger than Thing 2 is now last time we saw them. It was so nice to visit, I've missed seeing them, unfortunately 2 kids after travelling are not a whole lot of fun in a restaurant.

It is now 1025 Mountain time and Thing 1 is about to drive me crazy by not sleeping still. Well at least its a short drive to Calgary.
