We decided to make the best of the stat holiday on Thursday and make it a four-day weekend. We headed for the hills (er, mountains, actually) and drove up to Whistler for a mini family vacay.

(I did mention we spent a lot of time at this playground, didn't I?) |

You may recall a little thing called the Olympics that Vancouver hosted in February?
Whistler was the stage for many of the mountain sports. |
Unfortunately, we didn't entirely do our homework and hadn't realized the gondola would be closed for fall maintenance, so we weren't able to go up the mountain and take in the views, but we still managed to have a great time and get lots of fresh mountain air. In addition to practically living at the playground, we did some other fun family things, like attending story time at the library and swimming in the hotel's pool (which is code for trying not to boil Lilah alive in the hot tub). Oh, and let's not forget the spa! Okay, so that's not so much a family thing as a mommy thing, but I think we can all agree that spa time for mommy does bring the whole family closer together. My shiny purple toe nails totally count as family bonding, okay?!!!

I know you don't understand this right now, Lilah, but one day you will see
that Mommy spending three hours at the spa is actually in your best interest. |
Looks like a fun weekend get-away. I am with you on the spa time. I was just thinking I need one of those. Happy Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteSpa time is a necessity for mommy's. It keeps up sane.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool playground!
