Tara's visit: May Long Weekend


Tara was here for a great visit over the May long weekend. After a few beautiful summery days on Friday and Saturday, we re-created our "shoulder season" weekend with another great ski day at Sunshine Village, camping overnight at Tunnel Mountain, followed by a hike up Mount Rundle on Monday. Tara was a great sport on our ski day, despite it being almost 10 years since she was last on skiis. There was lots of entertainment at the hill, with an "AC/DC" cover band ("BC/DC"), and lots of "fans" in impressive costumes. The weather was great for camping, but we got caught in a bit of rain on our way up the mountain on Monday. The views were spectacular regardless. We were lucky to have Tara stay with us until Thursday, for a few work meetings (and American Idol!). Thanks for a great visit Tara--can't wait to see you again!
