vacation

 

  Four days and four nights.... a vacation for sure

Hi Marti... almost everyone has been to Whistler, probably you have too, well now I can say "me too" 

First stop...Peace Arch 
The  24 hours that followed ... not peace full, but..

we did out best and the rest was great 

Number 26 our amazing accommodations
thank you Larry and Connie 
Number 1 hubby 

The highlight was spending time with friends.

One couple joined us for dinner.   The other couple spent two days and nights with us.  All so very  good !

A hint to another highlight is hanging in the background...

And in the "background" you will see another highlight....

              Food....

In the four days we stopped here 3 times...  

 Cows ice cream..all the way from Prince Edward Island. 

  There are 11 stores in Canada and one in Beijing China !  

         About 50 flavors. My favorite,  Maple nut, very nutty.

Pure Bread...Pure delight

Raclette ... a little different, but delish 

Breakfast... bacon...bountiful 

Mongolian Grill.... 

Poutine..it is Canadian.. french fries, cheese curds and gravy

My first time...will definitely try again 

Atmosphere, ah !  

Kale salad and pizza 

on a smaller scale, but very memorable

Breakfast on the deck, favorite mug ( I like to bring the family along) nose gay from our new favorite florist, Senka ( mine from home died in 24 hours )

Not to be overlooked....

2014 Olympics  

Free massage courtesy of Oakley....a big event going on....

Did you spot Darrell?    

Ok.  not Darrell, but the hat is amusing 

And if you came without your own wheels.....check this out..

 

A walk along the Village 

Not my ride, but very nice

Not my lodge, but very nice

Yes, we took the gondola ride.  Though the sky was not clear, it was a great ride. Would love to do it again.  they say, " On a clear day you can see forever"

Then back to ground level...well, 2,020 feet ...Whistler mountain is 7,000 feet

How do you get to be walking with a stranger and chatting like you had know each other for years? !

Now, if you get this far...i have a quiz.   and a prize... 

What is missing in this picture?   

( there is a wood cutter behind the greenery )

Hint:  how well do you know my hubby?

OK.   That is a taste of Whistler.   

I live an exciting life
