Headlights, Bunny Rabbits, Coffees and More!

I think the title truly captures the essence of the trip that unfolded when two Raine ladies pile into a crammed car and travel across two provinces to get to their long awaited destination.
Even after a long day at work, nothing stopped us from jumping into the car and driving through the night to our Calgary pit stop. Granted pit stops caused by Saskatchewan winds and a gas tank lacking gas were a must, coffees and energy coffee drinks were consumed on a consistent basis as well. Fruit salad, nachos, Mcdonalds at 1:00am all were highlights that marked this first part of our journey. But one thing I must announce to you in devastation and with a broken heart... there will be no Easter Bunny this year. Yes...you heard it hear first. Chocolate will not come around this April 2011. In an unfortunate freak accident, your beloved Easter Bunny has passed. I will not go any further than that, but you may use your imagination as you decide for yourselves the devastating outcome that has brought us to being without Mr.Bunny and his deliciously wonderful creme filled chocolaty eggs this Easter season. 
Nevertheless, the following day brought on new and exciting adventures, as we waved goodbye to Calgary and it's disgusting ditches of snow, and headed towards the mountains that awaited us.
Hulga the Honda feared these giants beasts of rock, as she huffed and puffed her way up. As she defeated one, she became aware that more were in sight. As we coasted down the side of the mountain her speeds climbed, but as she ventured to climb another one, her speeds lingered and fell slowly. We laughed as we coached her on climbing these hills. They were never ending. . . . but what made the whole day enjoyable was the company I was blessed to have. Laughing and talking with my mom, felt like we've been friends forever. She's the best. Truly. And if you know her, you know she's a rockstar! We fooled Nick as we both had turns texting him, creating stories of our girls weekend and gallivanting around "town," not specifying which town we were actually in. Soooo sneaky.
Finally as the skies were dark and the mountains behind us, we arrived at our destination. . . .
