Into British Columbia

We made it into British Columbia today, completely crossing Alberta. The greatest news was that the movers called and my things have made is safely into Anchorage and will be delivered when we arrive on Tuesday! After a quick stop in Edmonton for a view of what Annie tells me is the world's 2nd largest mall (it is an odd structure and strangely enough includes a carwash), we stopped at a really cute little trading post for some lunch and to let the dog roam about for a bit. When we got into town stopped at the local grocery store and purchased some food for a picnic dinner and then drove out to a park, laid out a blanket, tied the dog out and enjoyed a wonderful simple dinner in the gorgeous weather. For the night we are staying in Dawson Creek and have snuck Zoey into the hotel (shhh... don't tell). The drive today turned from sprawling canola fields into never ending acres of pine forests, the mountains must be getting close. The Fixer Upper is our most recent book, a long one at 12 CD's, it is proving quite entertaining and has had both mom and I in stictches several times (especially the part when I spit my water all over mom's lap while driving). Dawson Creek is mile marker 0 for the Alaskan Highway, next stop, Muncho Lake!
