Coolidge Clan - drive home

Well yesterday was a long 8 hour drive but we arrived just east of regina at the "sleep inn" just in time to take a dip in the brand new pool. The hotel was brand new, I think we may have been the first ones in the beds, using the showers and using the alarm clocks.

The drive from canmore to regina was long but beautiful. The temperature fluctuated all day from 10 degrees to -10. It was sunny most of the way which felt so nice:) we stopped in Brooks (Blair's town) for lunch at Denys and then in Moose Jaw for supper at joeys seafood.

Baileys monocle! 

This is the view that I wanted Ashley to see as we approached Calgary on the way to canmore but the clouds wouldn't allow that to happen. I made sure to tell Ashely to turn around to look out the back to see the incredible view.

Today's drive hasn't been as pleasant as yesterday. A picture tells the story.

Jan 2 drive.

Jan 3rd drive from regina to morden.

So we were planning on going to winnipeg today to try and pick up our new Passat, but turns out it hasn't even arrived in Winnipeg yet. Thanks auto Haus VW for letting us know. We had to follow up. So since it may only arrive on Sunday, we decided to go straight to morden for Ukrainian Christmas celebration tomorrow!

It's been a stressful drive with our passengers...

Our snowboards were in the back seat as the Passat left 1 hr before the rest of the Coolidge clan, so we traded graham and Ashley for our snowboards.

It was an excellent ski trip, only thing that would have been better was a sunny and clear 6+ hour drive home. It has been a tense and slow drive home.

Trying to stay calm passenger,
