Day 2-Setting up camp




After a good rest in a nice bed, a swim at the pool and a soak in the hot tub while admiring the scenery it was time to leave that oasis and get to the campground to rough it ;)
We drove to Banff and found a great place called Two Jack Lake. There was a main site and a lakeside site. The lakeside site was crazy busy and we prefer our privacy when we are camping so we chose the main one. The only problem with the main one was that there were no showers. The way we figured it though we would stay here for 2 or 3 days and then when we go to Jasper get a site with showers.
The kids were really good with helping out. We got the our circus tent all set up, dining tent was up and Jay bought a great little battery air pump that had our air mattresses up in no time. While he was setting up camp I got to bar b quing some hot dogs for lunch. A quick lunch and then we were off to see the sights.
We drove around town and got our bearings.
We wanted to hike to Bow Falls but ended up driving past it. We got out and saw it and thought it would be kind of pointless to hike it now so stopped for some photos anyway.
