Beautiful Banff

Jack and I just returned from a glorious overnight trip to the Banff Springs Hotel. We have the privledge of staying in a suite in the Thompson Wing...what a breathtaking hotel and the view was out of this world. It truly was a treat to know some people and get to stay in such a breathtaking room. Poor Jack had to once again be pampered and be a kept man. We went to the hotel yesterday afternoon and a light lunch overlooking the golf course, river and looking right into the mountains. Then we had a sushi dinner which even included a hot pot (and I thought that I didn't have to cook dinner). The service was spectacular and the food mouth watering as we both enjoy sushi. Then this morning we were both treated to one of the best brunches that we have ever been too. Again, Jack complained all morning about being a kept man and having to do nothing but eat and relax so I asked that he drive us up the mountain and see my next favorite hotel (The Rimrock). So many friends of ours have stayed there but the view was magical...looking directly into the mountains and overlooking the valley...very hard on the eyes!
Anyway it was a tough 2 days and now we are back to real life and need to get some housework done. If any of you ever get the chance to stay the Banff Springs hotel - please go. It is worth every penny to stay and explore a gem of a hotel. The inside of the hotel has the look of a castle with so many wings, nooks and hide out, sit down and read corners that you will not be dissapointed. Oh, but take someone special with you..it makes it that much better!
