We didn’t have many plans for our week off in August (ten days counting weekends on either end) but a chance conversation with a library patron has us heading to Calgary for a few days.
We’d been talking about visiting the Calgary Zoo to see the pandas since they were announced as coming. But we weren’t in a rush until I got talking to a patron while helping her print out a plane ticket to Cowtown. During that conversation, she mentioned that the adult pandas are there for awhile yet but apparently the baby pandas are going home this fall.
Shea and I talked and figured we could hive off a few days from our 10-day break to hit Calgary before going camping.
Although we lived there for three and a half years from 2001-2004, we’ve only been back a couple times since leaving so are looking forward to another return visit.
