We spent our day in Edmonton, of course, by going to West Edmonton Mall. It is the largest mall in the world. The boys dropped us off so they could AGAIN go and wash that little brown Honda. Marilyn and Leigh first just wandered around not believing how large of a place this really is. The mall includes two 18 hole golf courses, a water park, an underground aquarium, small amusement park, 800 stores and every restaurant you can imagine. We were especially intrigued by the ice skate arena. We watched Seniors skate for fun for their daily exercise. Many of them were excellent skaters in their day. We also observed a young child getting her lesson on the ice - assuming that she will probably be one of Canada's Olympic hopefuls someday. We went to Tim Horton's. Our Canadian friends all said that we couldn't leave without trying it. We have been there - done that.
We spent the rest of the day at the RV park getting ready for our trek back across the border.
Friday a.m. was an early start thinking we we heading for Lethbridge, Alberta to spend the night. Not thinking it being Labor Day week-end, we could not find any RV park that wasn't already full! We knew then that we had to head to the border crossing and get into Montana. We found a spot at the Lewis and Clark RV park in Shelby. By now we have driven our biggest mileage of the trip - almost 500 miles in one day. We traveled through smoke from forest fires most of the time.
It is now Saturday morning and we are getting prepared to have our last breakfast together before we all separate and go our individual ways. This turned out to take much longer than any of us imagined.
It is with heavy hearts that we leave this adventure. Since leaving Wenatchee together we have traveled 5590 miles. We have had so many laughs, new stories to tell, and best of all the wonderful memories that we will always cherish!
