It seemed like every tourist in the Banff area decided to visit Lake Louise today. It was busy!!! But, also beautiful. Someday, I went to spend the night at the Chateau Lake Louise.
This has been a pretty perfect weekend weather-wise – hello summer! Went grocery shopping yesterday before supper and everyone looked sun-kissed (or burnt!) and mellow and just content.
