When our good friends hired us to shoot their newborn baby, we just had to make the trek up to E-Town on Tuesday to see them.

Well, I used to be known as a bit of a reckless driver in high school, but that was a looooong time ago. I drive like an old man now ;)

Anyways ... what's usually a 3 hour drive turned into 5. Winter driving conditions and -30 C weather with blowing snow and record snowfall slowed travel to a crawl. Never seen so many jackknived rigs in my life!

Do I look a little tense driving? Don't answer that ;)

Ended up staying the night in E-Town but at least all was not lost: we got a deal at Fantasy Land Hotel and did some Christmas shopping at WEM :) Funny: lived in Edmonton for most of my life, but never stayed there. Was pleasantly surprised by the hotel's accommodations and will definitely have to head back with the boyz for some fun in the water park!

Safe travels to you all this favorite of holiday seasons!! :)
