Lack of Camping

I got sick and we couldn't camp.  That doesn't mean we still didn't see a whole lot of Canada stuff on the remainder of our road trip.

We drove the Ice Fields Parkway between Banff and Jasper and we saw so much wildlife.

Not that kind of wildlife.  This kind of wildlife.

We saw glaciers.

We saw waterfalls.

And we even stopped to take a dip in an unusually shallow river.

See that little dot in this picture? That's Eddy! I'm standing on the shore and he's nearly halfway out into the river about up to his knees in water.

You can see in these pictures how much wildfire smoke we saw in Jasper. Because I was sick and because it was very smokey, we headed to Vancouver a few days earlier than planned.

We went straight to the Vancouver Aquarium, obvs.

We also crossed the Capilano Suspension Bridge (which we visited on vacation when I was a kid!)

The last thing we did before heading home was to check out a botanical garden.

They had pumpkins already!  This was mid summer. 

Right, also, we pulled over and excitedly took our picture here and giggled a bunch.

A great trip despite the sad lack of camping.
