Despite an emergency surgery last week, I packed my bags for the first famous road trip of the summer this past weekend, and headed to my to-be In-Laws property for sun, relaxation, food and lots of laughter. As I’ve always said, living, working and playing in downtown Calgary has many benefits, but once in a …
