Weekend Get Away

We packed up the car and hit the road this weekend.

Destination Halcyon Hot Springs - http://www.halcyon-hotsprings.com/  As always we took our time and soaked up every moment along the way. 

We took rides on the Needle and Galena Bay Ferries, walked the beach in Nakusp on Arrow Lake, explored the Ione Water Fall, and filled our bellies at the Modern Bakeshop in Revelstoke.  

We saw white tale deer, eagles and offsprey. 

And of course hot springs, hot springs, hot springs.  We walked around in lush white robes and soaked in the magical healing waters of Halcyon.  Still being shoulder season we almost had the place to ourselves which was lovely.  We have two water babies who happily would have stayed in the pools all day, all night.  We stayed in chalet 7B, met deer on our path, walked the trails and took in the pretty views.  

Pearl wanted to stay forever.  I think she had Leo convinced as well.  Pearl has inherited our sense of adventure and our itchy feet.  We scratched a little this weekend, with more to come I'm sure.  There was even talk of making this a Fogel family Spring tradition, fingers crossed! 

Thank you Willie for spoiling us with a mini vacation.  We love you so much.

What a great looking trip. And Trap is rockin' the George Clooney hair! I've got grey in my beard now, especially at the chin. We miss you cats! Keep those feet itchin' and wander on this way!
