Took us just over twelve hours but we made it to Calgary, Alberta.
Tomorrow morning just a half hour drive or so to Aunty Janice’s.
While I was driving today I was thinking about the many trips my older sister and I made as kids over the years on that exact road. Sometimes with our parents and sometimes with our grandparents.
In the same way that back then, kids survived on water fountains at school and avocado toast hadn’t been invented (in my world avocados hadn’t been invented), snacking as you drove also hadn’t been invented. It was really unheard of to bring drinks or snacks along.
You better have eaten breakfast before you left and there would be one stop for lunch at a highway cafe where you could either get a burger or a ham sandwich.
My grandparents were big on packing picnic lunches to save a buck and I knew all the picnic/rest stops across the prairie provinces.
Long day. I showered and ate and now to catch up on some WP posts ☺️
