Banff in February

My family and I live in Calgary, Alberta and having a busy schedule between family and work commitments my husband and I rarely take the time to go on a trip without our kids. I had a basket party in Banff, Alberta and thought that since I had to drive there to pick it up (one hour away) my husband and I should make a weekend out of it.
So now the planning starts…..book somebody well in advance to watch the kids, and find a kennel for the dog. Once that was all booked it was off to Banff for two whole nights with being with only adults and not being pulled in five million directions!! Sleeping in on Saturday and Sunday was a huge luxury and we took full advantage of it. Not to say that we didn’t miss our two young boys, and we called a few times a day to make sure that they were coping well without us. When we called we could tell that they were having a great time and I think they barely noticed that we weren’t there. :}
If you have never been to Banff in February you would imagine that it would be bitterly cold, where your nose hairs freeze when you walk outside. When we arrived it was like spring!! It was gorgeous out. The mountains are huge, and the contrast between the white snow and the black of the mountains reminded me of paintings from Ansel Adams. The air was crisp and refreshing and with that pine smell wafting through the air it reminded me of CLEAN BREEZE and SPRUCE & CITRUS. When we walked into our hotel this huge stone fireplace was burning which was like the COZY FIRESIDE Scentsy.
I can understand where Scentsy draws on their scents as they are literally all around us.
Have you ever been to Banff?? What is your experience?
