Whistler Part 1

After a couple of relaxing days getting over jet lag, saying hi to Linda’s cousins and getting used to driving on the “right” side again we hit the road for a gorgeous 2 hour drive up in to the mountains to Whistler for a few days(Winter Olympics capital in 2010).

 

Cousin Jodi was up there with her family and we arrived in time to celebrate Micah’s 4^th birthday. We had a look around the village shopping area and enjoyed catching up and goofing with the kids on the very cool play area.

 

It is a beautiful area with literally hundreds of accommodation resorts along the valley all joined by walking and biking trails. Waking up this morning we had a truly magnificent Jodi breakfast followed by a trip to the local pool.  It was a smaller pool but had a couple of great things I’d love to see at the Rolleston Pool. A swing rope hung from the steel girders along the roof and a basketball hoop at the side of the pool that we had a lot of fun with. Of course it was just us and all the preschoolers as everyone else was at work or school J  Maedow Park Pool, Whistler

After lunch Jodi and Some headed back to Vancouver and we headed off to find some walking trails. We went through some gorgeous autumn forest, round a couple of lakes and practiced our Bear Smart skills as per the many signs and helpful pamphlet we picked up at the resort front desk.

 

Roll on tomorrow...
