Oh Canada, how we love you....

A few weekends ago, we traveled to Whistler BC for a little family weekend trip.  We love all things in BC.  I have been to Whistler a couple of times in the winter but never in the summer.  Our kids love going anywhere.

We drove up on Friday and stopped at Horseshoe Bay (just north of Vancouver) for lunch.

We also stopped at Brandywine falls for a short hike.

We arrived in Whistler in the late afternoon. We checked into our condo in the Upper Village, went to Whistler village for dinner then back to the condo for swimming and bed.

Saturday morning we woke up to a glorious sunny day.

We took the gondola up Whistler mountain

Then did a short hike down to the chairlift that takes you to the tip top of Whistler mountain.  Yes, there was snow and a snow tunnel.  My girls thought it was amazing.

We took the chairlift up the mountain. 

The view from the top was beyond amazing.

Back down we went to hike back up to the gondola station.

We had lunch with an amazing view

before riding the Peak to Peak Gondola that goes between Whistler and Blackcomb.

When we got to the Blackcomb side we looked around then rode the glass bottomed Gondola back to the Whistler side.

Then down one more gondola to the village.  The girls had a very fun time and did great with all the new things they tried today.

When we got back down to the village we had ice cream at Cows and did some shopping for destination t-shirts (of course).  Later that evening we went to the kids carnival at the base of Blackcomb where the girls tried trampoline bungy jumping.

Dinner then bed for two very very tired little girls.

In the morning we had breakfast of Lucky Charms (our Canada treat) and a few donut holes from Tim Horton's.

We stopped by Lost Lake

and Shannon Falls on our way home to Seattle.

Canada is never a disappointment.  We love going there.

Next up:  Colorado and Utah.  The summer fun continues.
