Road trip to Northern Alberta

Geoff and I took a road trip up north for a friend's wedding. Geoff's old friend from High Level, Karl got married in Peace River. We borrowed my parents Lexus and left on Friday after lunch. It took us about 9 hours to get there! Was a pretty crazy drive. I was supposed to drive to Edmonton but my patience ran out at Leduc and Geoff had to take over! hehe :P

The wedding was on Sat afternoon so we had time to look around Peace River and check out some places of interest. Karl and Shelley's wedding was in a cute little park; it was mostly family a few close friends that attended the ceremony. It was a good sign that the rain clouds veered off in a different direction too! The ceremony was at a Chinese/Western restaurant in town called TJ's. A little cute blond toddler named Jake fell in love with me after I started dancing with him. Then we had to pry his strong fingers off mine to give him back to his parents. He also gave Geoff the death stare when Geoff took me away for a dance. It was the cutest thing ever!

The next day we drove Geoff's friends Nick and Lenissa back to High Level and then they took us on the grand tour from Geoff's old house and old school to the new hospital and the new housing developments. My brain was spinning from getting so many stories and so many things of local history! It was a fun tour... we ate lunch at the Frontier where Geoff, Nick, Steve, and Ryan ate lunch everyday for a year, and we had dinner at the famous Duster. In the evening, we crashed at Mary and Egon's house and watched some TV with Kristy (Karl's sister) before heading off to bed early. The next morning we had breakfast with Mary and Kristy and then started on our 12 hour drive back to Calgary.
