| Downtown Banf |
After walking around at the Sulphur Mountain summit and working up a little sweat, we rewarded ourselves with a shopping trip to downtown Banff. Our first stop was a late lunch at the Banff Brewing Co., which overlooks the main drag of Banff Avenue.

| Old fashioned Canadian Poutine (french fries and gravy) |
My niece Ann advised me to try the poutine, a distinctly Canadian dish. What is poutine? It's a bowl of french fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy. Really, it's a brilliant combination. It pairs well with the local pale ale too.
After lunch we strolled down Banff Avenue, which is chock-a-block with sweet and gift shops and sporting goods stores. We did run into a western wear shop, where Ben pretended he was a cowboy.

We concluded the day with dinner for Sherman, who turned a young 78 years old this July 2nd. He was the mastermind of this trip. He said the best gift for him was having his family all together.
