Olympics 2010

In honor of the fact that the Winter Olympics begin exactly one year from today, I am reminiscing about our Whistler Vacation. While it was a rain fest during the middle of July when we ventured North, it was still the best place for a family get-away. Rain or shine, this destination is a definite must to visit repeatedly. Passing through customs in and out is more of a challenge than when I was growing up, but it is worth the hassle (some say passport, some say birth certificate, I guess it depends on the time of day/month/year you travel).

The kids enjoyed all the outdoor adventures that this resort offers. The beauty does not disappoint either. The shopping is a fun stroll and something to occupy that down time while you wait for your muscles to regroup after your last trek. The restaurant selection is a nice variety and much to choose from; from the ultra casual to the more dressed for the evening style.

Here we are playing up the Olympic Dream in the shopping district. Of course Mommy got the Gold, and for some reason the kids wanted to act like Silver and Bronze were not good enough. Go U.S.A. 2010!!
