For the Canada Day long weekend, we once again went camping with our friends! We did cabin camping at Spahats Creek Resort & Campground, which we later learned used to be a prison.

We were more than happy for that arrangement and it meant we wouldn’t have to fight the other folks getting off the plane for a taxi. It also felt fancy to walk out and see someone holding a sign with your name on it 😝
