Vancouver to Alberta

I'm hoping someone can check my itinerary for me and let me know if this is doable? I'm taking my 9yo on a 9-day road trip to Alberta in September and I'm unsure of how many days to spend in each spot, or if I should change some of these spots. Any input would be really appreciated!

Vancouver,

Princeton (basically to break up the drive),

Trail (to see friends),

Drumheller,

Dinosaur Park,

Banff (or Jasper?),

Revelstoke and Three Valley Gap,

Vancouver

Is that too much? Wrong spots? Drumheller and Dinosaur Prov Park and Three Valley Gap are "must dos" but everything else can be adjusted. I don't really know how many nights to stay in our different destinations, or how many days are too many days for each spot. My son is very interested in history, and we love nature and cute towns. Thanks for any input!

quick dry undies??

For the past 10+ years, I have sworn by Patagonia's quick dry undies (women's). Originally I bought two pairs for a 5-week trip to Colombia and washed one pair each night. I've been hooked on them since and they're all I wear now. I went to buy more and was so sad to find they discontinued them! So I'm looking for suggestions on quick dry women's underwear, hopefully with a similar cut. I've found wool ones but I can't wear wool so that's not an option for me. Any other suggestions would be great! I'm in Canada so hopefully something I can find here. Thank you!

Gifts for an "older" kid who loves Bluey?

My son is about to turn 9yo and he's a new fan of Bluey so I want to get him something Bluey-ish for his birthday. I ordered him this awesome (adult sized) rock 'n' roll Muffin shirt from Hot Topic that will be massive on him but whatever; he can wear it to bed. Most kids his age don't seem to be into Bluey anymore so a lot of the things I'm finding are for toddlers. Any suggestions for something an older kid will like? He loves Bonds PJs but sadly he got on the Bluey train too late so I haven't been able to find him their Bluey PJs. Any other ideas? Thanks!

I'm in Canada if it makes a difference. I'm a stay at home mum (ie: I make no money) and my husband is employed by a local company. He owns a property from before we were married (so my name isn't on it) that we rent out and I want to choose the "DIY - premier" option for my return, but when I do, it goes to the "expert full service". I've tried three different devices, two different browsers, and still it won't let me choose anything else. I don't want the "expert service" and definitely do not need to pay that much for each of us (especially ridiculous since I put basically nothing in my own return). I've started multiple new returns and it's never allowing me to select Premier. Has anyone had this happen? Any idea how to get it to actually go to the Premier option?? It's been two days, hours on hold with nobody answering, unanswered DMs, and I'm over it. I appreciate any insight. Thank you!!
