Whistler, baby!
Aaaahhhhh…...Whistler. We are at the end of our first week in our very own place in Whistler. It’s fantastic. The beds are both enormous and incredibly comfortable. The views are stunning. The kitchen is well equipped and the location is superb. I have no complaints. Except maybe the weather. It is the pits. Rain every day. Some of the days haven’t even broken 60 degrees! Geesh, what happened to summer?
Ah well, we are doing our best to enjoy it, despite the weather. This morning we went for a short waterfall hike with Lucy. Amazingly, we didn’t even get wet. We also visited the library; Lucy went crazy but mostly with the toys and not the books. While Lucy napped, I went for a run in the rain and then a quick trip to the hot tub. Now I’m relaxing on the couch with a Stella Artois and the US Open on TV. That’s pretty typical of our days this week. G’s been mountain biking a couple times. We entertained Cory and Laura for a day and a half over the weekend. We had one family bike ride and a trip to the awesome indoor swimming pool in town. That’s about it. Lucy has slept surprisingly well, and therefore so have I. It’s a blessed thing, as I really needed some good sleep.
We are totally thrilled to have this place to retreat to. We are looking forward to lots of trips up here in the next few years. With any luck, we’ll get better weather. And if not, we’ll be happy to cozy up with a good book and gaze out at the mountains.
