Well friends and readers, I'm ditching my day job and hitting the road with momma Pam (Josh's mom) for a nice week and a half road trip and vacation to Edmonton, Alberta. It's a 16 hour drive from Salt Lake City to Edmonton, and I'm pretty sure we'll crash a night in Montana on the way, but by Thursday night I should see my best friend in the whole world again and get to experience a new city! I'm so excited!
I've only been out of the country once before, in 2006 right before they made it necessary to have a passport to cross the boarder. That was only a few blocks into Tijuana-and it hardly counts since all we did was see a doctor and get some street corn. This time I have my big girl passport and I'm headed to a new city in a different direction. I'm really excited!
If you have any tips for what to do or see up around Edmonton, leave it in the comments below. I'll check back!
Soooooo... I probably wont be around a computer much, but please make sure you stop by as I have some fun posts scheduled for you, and I also have some giveaways currently running. Don't miss them!
Have an awesome trip!

Have a great time! Anytime you have to use your passport is a good time! Street corn in Tijuana sounds really good about now. BTW, Shane says hi!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time!!
ReplyDeleteUmmmm, hope you packed a winter jacket. E-Town just got a huge dump of snow this morning. I'm in Calgary and thankfully we've been spared :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time in Canada! Hopefully it doesn't snow!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time! Just remember that in Canada, not EVERYTHING is built out of ice bricks.
ReplyDeleteOh! And they still drive on the right.
ReplyDeleteEdmonton has an amazing mall, so if you have time to check it out I highly recommend it! Also Shane says hi :)
ReplyDeleteHave a fun time!!!
ReplyDeletehave fun in Canada!
ReplyDelete(Shane says hi ;))
I never been to Canada before and i live right here in Michigan. Will go one day as i heard it is a blast.
ReplyDeleteHave fun! If you can sneak back some Kinder eggs, do it. :)
ReplyDeleteCanada is amazing, enjoy your journey :)
ReplyDeletethis sounds so fun! I've visited Toronto and Vancouver, but nowhere in the middle, and there isn't too much to road trip in the UK! That being said I am hoping to emigrate to Seattle so I will be much closer to Canada for road trips. Have a great trip and make tons of memories!
ReplyDeleteI always forget that you're in Salt Lake! Fellow Utahns!
ReplyDeleteAaaah, so excited for your trip! Be safe and good luck!

Haha, thanks for the tip! I think the part I was in was a little more boring, but it was still fun to go!
ReplyDeleteIt snowed right before we got there, but then it was good our whole trip.
ReplyDeleteHaha it did get a bunch of snow right before we got there, but it was mostly melted by the time we arrived.
ReplyDeleteIt is good! They didn't stamp my passport. boo. lol
ReplyDeleteWe did go over to the West Edmonton Mall, and it's HUGE!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I did. :)
ReplyDeleteYou should go! I wonder how it is over by you. I just went through Alberta which is mostly just farmland.
ReplyDeleteI totes did. lol
ReplyDeleteI want to go to Vancouver or Montreal-or Toronto! Edmonton was a nice city, but not as culturally rich as those I think. It's mostly just a college town.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Seattle is awesome!
ReplyDeleteAh, I love finding locals!
