Because we finally got a car last week we wanted to take a drive somewhere and decided Whistler was the place. We woke up early one morning and headed North along the Sea-to-Sky highway. Here are things we did and saw:

First stop: Shannon Falls, near a very photogenic bluff known as "The Chief", which we don't have a photo of.

A tree doing bicep curls with Dan.

On the chairlift up Blackcomb Mountain - one of the two mountains next to the Whistler-Blackcomb ski resort. The other one is Whistler.

Recently they built the PEAK 2 PEAK gondola experience between the two mountains. It's about 3 miles long, lasts for 11 minutes and has the longest unsupported span for a ride of its kind in the world. The mountain in the photo is Whistler, which we were heading towards.

This is where we got off the gondola. The peak of Whistler is in the background. You had to get another chairlift to get to the top.

Before summiting Whistler Dan tried out this bobsled.

Chairlift to the top of Whistler.

Top of Whistler. As we walked off to the left of the shot we pretended we were a tree and a feather.

This is called an inukshuk. This giant one at the peak of Whistler was created for the olympics and is a symbol of hope for Canada. There were lots of people waiting to take photos of it so we just took one with this lady.

So that was a fun trip. Also this week these things happened:

A guy came into Rona, where Bri works, and when she asked how he was doing he said "I'm doing great, because I have a new liver".

Dan was in the city for a job interview, dressed to impress, and an older suit-wearing guy and young hijab-wearing lady assumed to be his daughter approached Dan and requested through gesturing that Dan tie the guy's tie for him.

Till next week, love.
