Just arrived back home tonight after being away for 3.5 weeks. Had a blast. Definitely lots to follow - maybe tomorrow.

We arrived in Calgary last night and came via Drumheller, where we spent about 4-5 hours in the badlands area and explored the Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology. Mike spent hours in the museum and I went through it quickly and then took Ben for a long walk out on an interpretive trail through part of the hills. We stopped en route to Calgary at ( Read more... )
