Apple Martini's
Hi all,
We have been back from Banff for a couple of hours now, thought I would update the blog. We had a nice time in Banff, got in about 700 p.m., and went to the KEG for a light dinner, then hopped in the pool and hot tub for a little bit.
Saturday morning was an early start and down to downtown Banff, to do a little shopping and walking around, but when the temperature is -7C you don't walk around outside for long, we picked up some gifts and items for ourselves. When I was trying on a coat, the clerk asked me if I was from Bermuda, since I was wearing my Goslings Black Seal T-shirt. So we ended up talking about Bermuda, since he worked there back in the mid-eighties... That is two people who have worked in Bermuda in about three weeks....
After shopping it was back to the hotel room for a nap, then freshen up, change clothes and down to the lobby to met everyone. We bussed down to Saltlick, the same restaurant we ate at last year, and had quick cocktails, then upstairs for a very good meal.
After dinner it was back down to the lounge to have some more cocktails, and of course this leads to the title of the blog, the discovery of Apple Martini's by me....
Back on the bus at eleven and back in the hotel to jump into bed. It was a very nice night for us and we had a great time.
Unfortunately I forgot the camera back at home, since I left it charging on the camera dock, so no pics of anything this year. But here is a photo from last year just to show you where we were.
Monday is back to work for Roanna, and back to class for me for two days to get my CPR certification. Any hoo hope everyone had a great weekend as well.
