When we visited Banff, AB last fall, we quickly fell in love with the little ski town. What’s not to like? It’s a little ski hamlet with lots of quirky and fun shops and restaurants tucked into the middle of a national park. While sightseeing, we came across a little spot to eat that was well recommended and looked right up our alley! Who wouldn’t want to eat at a place called Grizzly House? On top of the cool name and design, this place offered a great selection of exotic meats and had an awesome laid back feel that turned out to be much more than we expected. Win! We had a great meal and wanted to share our review of Grizzly House in Banff, so you too can enjoy this unique dining experience.

#FriFotos- A Tribute to all things West
The word West can conjure up many images and feelings. In America the word West is usually used in the context of an adventure as in “venturing out to the Wild West” or “heading out West” to find oneself. It goes back to the early days of our country when the West was a wild and untamed land that needed to be conquered by cowboys and ranchers. Even today, there are many portions of Americas west that appeal to this same sense of unrestricted freedom and wide-openness. We’ve had the opportunity to spend some time in the West, and wanted to share it with you as part of this weeks #FriFotos.
