We spent the Holidays this year with Rasila's family. We flew to Seattle, then drove the next day to Whistler, BC.
The drive to the US-Canada Border takes a couple hours, then the drive
through the greater Vancouver metro takes an hour, then the drive to
Whistler takes another hour.
We stopped in Squamish to buy lift tickets at a 7/11 since they are significantly cheaper ($63 CDN versus as high as $78 CDN during the week).
We skiied 6 days, starting on Christmas Day. We stayed at the Tydall Stone Lodge
in the Village. It was a heck of a hike back and forth from the
lifts. We suspect this is the source of the bruises on the front
of Rasila's ankles that limited her to 3 days skiing.
December 27th was Rasila's father's birthday. We went to the Mongolie Grill
for dinner. Rasila's brother Seton ate the largest meal at 1410
grams (3 pounds)! We then went to a show at the Millenium Place
theater call Ache Brasil.
It is a Brazilian dance squad and was especially entertaining when
Belden took off his shirt and danced with them at one point!
We
made it back to Irvine on the 31st, just in time for the "Let's
celebrate New Year's in all our old time zones" party at our friends
Paul and Robin's.
