We are so lucky to live so close to such beautiful national parks...we were even luckier to get to stay at the BaNFF SpRIngS HOteL as my Mother's Day gift from Jared and Elle. It was so much fun. I will admit, the night was hard having Elle sleep in the same room as us, but spending the day in Banff was so much fun. I felt like I was staying at a castle....it's just so beautiful and mysterious. Thanks Jared and Elle for a wonderful gift and a fun few days in BaNFF.
Elle found a friend as we were walking downtown Banff. This dogs name was Ellie too. 
Elle loves to swim and the hotel has the funnest swimming pool. They have a little kiddie pool inside, a lane swimming pool inside, a hot tub, and then a big outdoor pool too. It was fun to go back and forth between all of the pools.
