Whistler for Spring Break

We headed out to Whistler, BC for spring break. The top of the mountain was delightful ... the bottom was a little slushy with 50-60 degree temps.


Trip to Seattle ... kids in cockpit of 2-week old plane ... Doug announced "test flight"



We learned a bit of patience waiting in the hallway for others to get ready.

Julia got in on the action



Day 1: the gondola took us up above the clouds, some nice Russian living in Vancouver helped with the photo



At first we spent a lot of time planning our routes ...



... as the week went on RJ just looked for any thrill seeking event



RJ is that tiny dot heading between the rocks



Day 2: Julia skied with her friend Matti Jane from school



Day2: after skiing it felt more like Easter when we went to the local church



Nice place, 2 bedroom/2 bath short walk to slopes (Julia struggled with manual ice)



Doug and Julia looked for the inukshuks. Julia was trying to frame the inukshuk, RJ was taking the pic.



Sara took this picture of a different inukshuk



Kids occupy themselves while waiting for adults to arrive at the lift



While trying to find the tree fort ... we ran into this bridge on a woods trail



Free fort and castle had slides (best use of Doug's helmet all trip)



Weekend lines were a bit long, rest was good, birds provided entertainment




Olympic village - Dairy Queen and local joint with bottomless sodas!



Doug was sick on Day 5, kids got pretzels



Crossed bridge on way to Whistler side ... followed brick paths for entertainment



Day 7: We ate 4 containers of bread ... then we got some cool stuff from the Kings Hawaiian truck
