Summer Blog 2006 - Day 11 - Canada Day in Harrison
Temp: 30 degrees
For Carole's birthday, I got her a weekend getaway at the Harrison Resort and Spa. My kind of gift ... the kind I get to enjoy too!
Checkin wasn't until 4PM, so we left around noon and took a liesurely drive down the Lougheed Highway on a gorgeous, sizzling hot day.
We spent the afternoon walking the beach, checking out the world famous sand castles and the natural hot springs, then just lounging by/in one of the resort's 6 mineral pools - soaking up the sun and sipping margaritas and chi chis. It was NICE.
We got out of the sun for a bit around 7pm and headed to the pub for dinner and a few drinks, then went back to our room and hung out on the balcony to watch the sunset, sip back a few more drinks, and await the Canada Day fireworks show at dusk (10:15PM).
Here's a picture I took at dusk, about 10 minutes before the fireworks started
