Much like our trip three years ago, today we simply drove from Regina to Lethbridge, in preparation for the rest of our vacation. Unlike three years ago, today was unbelievably hot - it was 35 in Medicine Hat and 33 when we arrived in Lethbridge.
Despite the fact that today was just a travel day, we had a good day. We left the house a little later than I planned, but not much, and arrived in Swift Current at lunch time. We had packed a lunch, so we ate in a park before getting back on the road. The kids slept all the way from Swift Current to Medicine Hat, where we stopped for gas. (Not quite as cheap as last time - $1.17/L, which is only 9 cents less than Regina.)
We ran into road construction outside Medicine Hat, but we had put a movie on for the kids, so it wasn't a big deal. After finding a hotel room in Lethbridge, we went for supper and then relaxed a bit before the kids went to bed.
Tomorrow we continue into the mountains. We plan on stopping at the landslide in Frank and at the dump truck in Sparwood.

Sounds like it was a very good day. Sometimes just driving isn't, but when the kids sleep, that's always a good thing. Thank you for the map, I appreciate it!!!
When I was a kid we stopped at Franks and they had this great program where we wore hard hats and participated in an excavation/reenactment. I doubt they still do that, but if they do I recommend it.
