Banff - Day One

Written by Emma...

Our family has taken few trips driving and this was one of them. We would be driving for two and a half days. On the first day we set out on our trip to Banff it was on March the twenty-seventh. I wondered what driving for more than just a quick trip to Buffalo for cat liter would be like. I found out that a four and a half hour drive was pretty boring. We just listen to our iPods until dinner at subway. After dinner it was pretty much back to iPods so for three and a half more hours; it was silent in the van. The goal of that day was to cross the the Red River. The Red River had been flooding houses and causing many bridges to close. But lucky us we found a route that led us to a bridge that was moving us closer to our destination and getting us across the Red River. We drove for 1 and a half more hours after crossing the river and it was getting late so we called in to a hotel and got us a place to sleep for the night. When we arrived at the hotel we realized it was no ordinary hotel it looked like a camp site to me. There were 5 long houses the size of an ordinary cabin in a camp. We quickly checked in and fell asleep right away around 10:30.
