Our first trip to Whistler, B.C.
















On July 7th Dan and I headed off for a little R and R in Whistler, Canada at the Westin Resort. What should have taken us 4 and 1/2 hours to get there took us a little longer...let's just say we were supposed to be on Hwy 1, but somehow ended up on Hwy 1A. It all worked out in the end and we made it to our beautiful destination. The Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler was absolutely breathtaking!! It is quite the windy road, so it was all eyes on the road for Dan as I described to him all that I was seeing going on around him (like two bears drinking coffee). The first day was a little overcast and cool, but after that Whistler was in a heat wave and temperatures reached the high 90's. While we had aspirations to go zip-lining and white water rafting, we ended up spending much of our time relaxing at the pool, eating out, and shopping at the village. We also had two massages. One of the massages was sitting in massage chairs where these women practically beat us up...I think I'm still bruised from it! One day we went to the driving range and we watched five movies (one each night) at the Village Theater. Whistler exceeded our expectations!
