First off Banff was fuckin bitchin...
Friday: we got a late start. We went and picked up booze, and food and off we were. We got there around 4pm. Our cabin was awesome. We dumped our shit and proceeded to open every cupboard and drawer. Fully stocked with everything, it kicked ass. Sean was most excited about having a tea pot and kettle..What that says about him...I'm not sure. We filled our bottles with water and orange juice (gin & tonic/Orange & Malibu) and took a cab into town which is cheaper then taking the bus..Doesn't make sense to me but I wasn't gonna argue. We wandered through the shops. For those that did not know, 22+ yr olds get more excited about candy shops then any other store on the planet sadly enough. Sabby has a candy burger and hotdogs on top of her monitor at work..We found a pizza one! Pizza! Imagine the joy. I was also not aware Banff has the widest Pez dispenser assortment then anyplace else. I found a Hot tamales box bigger then anything I've ever seen...I creamed my pants a little.

Giant Hot Tamales..Sweet Jesus!

We got back to the hotel and the boys bbq'd potatoes & hotdogs..Yes hotdogs. They took the mammoth grill and there was a family that came later with steaks and shit and had to use the smaller grill. Apparently they joked around and gave the guys a hard time teasing them about the hot dogs. Sabby & I ate and then headed for the hot tub. We got in and exclaimed...Sweet Jesus for approx 10 mins till settled. Sabrina would attempt to lay on her back and float..Unfortunately her head is tiny and the jets were pushing her around like bullies, was hilarious. (j/k Bean don't smack me) The boys joined us later, they eat a lot so took longer. We went back and forth from the hot tub to the pool when it got too hot. We were doing hand stands and fooling around, it was a lot of fun. Sabby was pretend synchronized swimming. She'd do a hand stand and come up and exclaim "lalaaaa". So then we all were doing them yelling "lalaaaa".

Our cabin fuckin rules!

Jim & I.....Inappropriate!

Beaner..oddly enough she did not pose for this

Me..Aren't I cute

Jim being pimpin..or thinks he is.
Sabby and I went back to the cabin around 10:30pm. It was so soo beautiful out, there was a little path we spotted. So we got dressed and went for a walk. Was stunning. I've never been as content as I was just then, I was full, warm, and Jello like from the hot tub. I was totally awe-struck by the mountains and scenery. We both wished it was brighter out so we could sit and write. (funny it being dark at 11pm..crazy talk) We went back to drag the guys out with us because it was just so fuckin pretty. When we returned we all passed out quickly.

This was our appetizer before dinner which we inhaled in 5 mins or less.

Taken on me and Sab's walk..So fuckin pretty (camera phones don't do justice of course)
Saturday: I woke up to knocking...I opened the door to the two hottest cleaners I have ever laid eyes on..And they had accents (froth). I told them everyone was still crashed so they would have to come back later. Sean made a great breakfast, bacon, eggs & hashbrowns. Jim cracked an "eye opener" as he referred to it as, sabby & I drank pop our version of coffee. I don't think I've ever drank at 11am...tooo early.

Jim's "Eye-openener" at 11am
We hopped in the car and went shopping. We stopped at the banff springs hotel first to check it out. So pretty. We went on a mini hike to spray lake and saw the only deer of the trip. Afterwards we shopped most of the day. Spent way way too much money. I bought a ring with Sabs we've decided since they are both hematite and similar in design..We're married now.

We headed back to our cabin and had 2hrs till dinner. We had a few drinks and did what we all said we'd do..DRUNKEN SLIDING! They only had two slides but they were bitchin. We then went to the sauna and sweat all the booze out. The sauna room echoed so it was 20 mins of whistling the tune from kill bill followed by animal calls. (FYI slides + piercing's = bad)

Banff Springs hotel..gorgeous

We got ready and went to the Grizzly house for fondue. Sab's & I have both never had fondue. They brought out salad, was alright, then Cheese fondue (NASTY SHIT YO!) then they brought out the meat. Holy shit sooo good. We got a hot rock & traditional oil fondue. We were all pretty loaded. They brought out the desert....Give me a minute....Oh...Oh.....Sweet Jesus desert. Toblerone chocolate with fruit. When we were out of fruit and there was still chocolate..Sabby & I were dipping our prongs in the chocolate and licking it off. I thought..fuck this and took my drink straw to it. On our way out, we got some pics of the GIANT toblerone bar that you can purchase for $124 10lbs of chocolate. There were some drunk women who took our pics till one fell over a chair, we left to 10 cackling MILF's. Hot...

Our spread, was so dark but whatever you get the jist of it


Dessert...soo good

Sabby taking the straw to the chocolate
When we got back we decided to get loaded and play cards. Jim & I were attempting to teach Sabby and Sean Euchre. I learned three things...1) don't drink a lot and then try to explain complicated, strategic card games to your friends..Who have also drank a lot...It leads no where good. Especially when Sabby is insanely competitive..She didn't care if I was her partner she would out trump my shit to win. 2) Jim & I have excessive knowledge of the game Euchre, wasting way to many brain cells stuffed with euchre strategy. 3) You can't shuffle cards and do the bridge move with missing fingers. Although...Jim should have demonstrated for my entertainment.

Sean bought a small popcorn they said you could put in the microwave We decided to give it a go since it was not our microwave....

Yes this was one of the highlights of the weekend...sad but you would be just as mesmorized

The aftermath...
Sunday: we woke up and packed all our shit. Check out was 11am. We were going to go to the hot springs. We ate breakfast and headed up there. It was the only disappointing thing of the entire trip. What the fuck are they trying to pull. It was pretty much a heated hotel pool outdoors. I want proof that it's an actual "spring" I saw no mountain rocks, no pretty pool, no mountain run off..Shit... I saw a bunch of tourists in a HEATED OUTDOOR POOL! It was pretty though, at least now I can say I've been. I know now that my hotel hot tub kicks the hot springs ass any day. We didn't do the gondola because it was so cloudy you couldn't see much. We went for lunch at some 50's diner and then headed home. On our way out I wanted Starbucks so bad. Sean and Jim grabbed both my arms and wrestled me away..THEN driving home there all like...You're dosing off at the wheel..Poke poke. That's what you get..I hope you all learned your lesson.

The last day our walk around town this morning..
Terms vastly over used throughout the weekend. Sean & Jim said (from Chapelle show)YEAH! WHAT! & OKAY!! (Thanks to Chris..I'll keel you) over and over. As well thanks to my sarcastic comment at princes island park "Dewey labia" is now a common term. We managed to use it at least a dozen times..Especially since it was raining a lot, use of hot tub & pools. Notable comments Jim burned me by telling me to "shutup huge!" which was fuckin hilarious. I'm now chillin at Jim's, avoiding home for a few more hours.
