The thing is, it's July 13th, the last day of the Stampede. We're flying in from Europe, so 8 hours ahead after about 14 hours travelling, getting in around 8pm Saturday and staying in a hotel by the airport.
My husband wants to get at least 300kms in Sunday night (heading south). I'm not driving.
I lived in Calgary for four years as a kid (9-13) and haven't been back. My kids have never been (they're 9 & 12). I don't really have any friends to see, but I'd like to look at my old house (NW). My husband went to Calgary when he was about 10 (just for a couple days on a cross-Canada trip) and has really good memories about Heritage Park, seems to think we should do that. (I went there once or twice, don't recall it being too impressive.) And I feel it's wrong to be there during Stampede Week and not go to the Stampede.
What say you, Calgarians?
