Vacation Part 1: Whistler

This year Nate took off three weeks this summer for vacation, it was wonderful!  We divided it up into three destinations: Whistler, Bellevue, and Orcas Island.  Each destination was so special in it's own way. This year seemed like the first year that all the kids could be equally involved in the events and adventures and it was great.  Whistler was beautiful and a great way to kick off the 3 weeks away!

 We took a gondola up to the top of Whistler and then from peak to peak (Whistler to Blackhomb).  These are new gondolas and it was absolutely breathtaking.

 Once we got up there we hiked around a bit and found this beautiful lake... the perfect spot for a picnic!

On the way back down we took the gondola with the glass bottom.  I seriously never knew how awesome trees look from above.

Our good friends the Wynnes happened to be at Whistler at the same time as us!  We had a BBQ at the peak with them, what a cherry on top!
