Whistler, BC, CA

The time change worked to our advantage this morning as we were up and feeling great at 6:30 a.m. their time. We headed out to a restaurant that normally has a line out the door and were the only people in it. Southside Diner is totally worth a stop if you're ever in town. The view of the ski runs from its windows were incredible. The food was also great and we really enjoyed our spunky server.

Breakfast with an interesting view

I love sassy restaurants

After breakfast we made a quick stop at the grocery. Since we have a kitchen in our hotel room we thought it made sense to eat in. Resort towns are notoriously pricey places to eat and we're cheap. :)

Another cloudy day?

By the time 10:30 hit we'd already had a productive morning so we came back to our room to hang out for a bit. When we left again around noon all the fog was gone and it was like a new day!

Back to gorgeous at Sundial

We decided to bask in the lovely day by taking a long hike. The scenery here is just amazing and the hiking trails are awesome. This place is meant to be enjoyed.

My handsome hiking partner

Not a great photo of me, but whatever

Trying to get photos of the mountains that have snow on them is tricky due to clouds. I did my best to capture the beauty of the area.

Cloud and snowy mountaintop meet

We hiked to a place called "Lost Lake Park" which was just gorgeous. We found the lake, though, so they should likely rename it. ;)

Lost Lake is lost no more!

I tried to take a photo of us and fell down in the process!
I thought I'd share a blooper! :)

There we go. LOVE.

As you can see, Lost Lake was just hideous ;)

Jackson so badly wanted to go play like those kids :)

God does good work.

Really good.

Snow-capped mountains 

We wandered back to town to see what was going on there. The sun was starting to fade and so were we! I wanted to find a cute little painting for my office and Jackson wanted to see the Olympic stuff. Score. We succeeded at both.

My new piece of art for my office!

We really enjoyed the shopkeeper in the store where we found my little painting. She let us keep the easel. The little stone man was the Olympic symbol here so you see him all over the place. We explored the village more before heading back to the room for dinner.

We used the hot tub on the hotel's roof to enjoy the clear evening. There is nothing quite like sitting in a hot tub looking out at snow. I just loved it.

We spent some time this evening people watching at a Starbucks in Whistler Village. There are people from all over the world here both visiting and living. It is truly a melting pot. We did a little shopping and then called it a night. The time change makes us almost elderly! ;)
