Day 4- Somewhere you’ve been.
Growing up we never really did a lot of travelling. We spent lots of time at the lake or with family at farms across the province. When i was younger my dad got transferred to Drumheller, land of the dinosaurs, and we made a couple trips there. We made a drive to the pacific coast one summer. After my dad passed away we also took a girls trip to Hawaii.
But the place i am going to talk about now was somewhere i went this summer.
Kelowna.
I fell in love with Kelowna the second i got there. If i had the opportunity to pack up my life an move there i would. The Okanagan lake is amazing and being in wine country was a dream come true.
How can you tell you really love somebody? Spend hours in a car together while driving through mountains on a long weekend. The drive was beautiful, Rocky Mountain surrounded us, and listening to The Comedy Button for hours and im so glad i got to spend that time with Mark.
Throughout the weekend i spent many hours on the deck with a glass of wine watching people golf, laughing a lot, and making amazing memories.
The trip home was a whole different story, after a long night of partying and an early morning to make the long drive home. A drive that would typically take 8 hours took over 12 hours. We both took turns driving trying to catch up on sleep and get through the hang overs. We got stuck in all kinds of traffic, went through every kind of weather and i had the biggest anxiety attack of my life.
Finally we made it home, even with the worst drive home in history it was still an amazing weekend and i’m so glad Mark had a chance to reconnect with his friend and i had the much needed vacation away.
I cant wait to start planning out next trip.
