March Break in Canmore, AB: Relaxation & Re-connection

-We took advantage of a booking offer that the Malcolm Hotel offered in February. We had to book between  set time on Thursday to qualify for HALF off our room. Restrictions applied in terms of it being non-refundable or transferable and we had to stay within a certain window of dates. The hotel was lovely; we had two queen beds, a balcony and an incredible view. It is walking distance to downtown. Which was perfect for lazy days of strolling down mainstream and doing a little shopping! 

-Quick brunch at Beamer’s Coffee Bar to refuel after traveling

-Dinner at The Sensory; I had the salmon and the vegan, gluten free chocolate cake!

-Cruffin from The Uprising Bakery + Espresso Bar; we wanted a sweet treat while we (finally) watched The Eras Tour. I gotta say the Cruffin (croissant & muffin hybrid) was the bomb; stuffed with an incredible lemon curd —it is a MUST try! Way better mash up than the cronut.

-Coffee and snacks from The Pulse (the general store at the hotel) while we watched Top Chef.

-Shops open around 10; we were early for so we headed back to relax and watch Irish Wish until they opened. Also, several businesses are closed Monday-Tuesday. 

-After walking around the area surrounding the hotel we hit up Rocky Mountain Bagel Company; I had the Bagel Garden: plain bagel with cream cheese and stuffed to the hit with fresh veggies. 

-Happy Hour at Brigette Bar; they have a really great selection of cocktails (Next Exit) and half off pizzas (Chicken Sausage) 

-To wrap up the night we watched The Little Mermaid and tried a couple different confections from The Uprising again (Honey cake, carrot cake and apple streudel).
