Road trips to the Rocky Mountains

We took two trips to the Rocky Mountains this summer. The first trip was the three-hour drive to Windermere, BC to see Aunt Siri and Uncle Mike tilling. They run a nice little motel near the lake. The other trip was to Canmore and Banff with Vivian's friend Amy and her family.
