The Loft Lounge at Granary Road has extended their summer hours on Friday and Saturday nights. Hubby and I enjoyed dinner there this past weekend and it was great going to their after the market had closed.

The Loft Lounge

Granary Road closes at 5:30 but on Fridays and Saturdays, The Loft Lounge is open until 8.

It was a different vibe being in the space when the market was closed.

West Edmonton Mall - World Waterpark

We headed to the World Waterpark at West Edmonton Mall a couple weeks ago. It’s been so long since we have been at the mall, it’s always amazing how much is actually in there. We spent all day Sunday at the pool. With all that it has to offer, it’s not hard to do.
