My 40th birthday is in August and my sisters and I were trying to figure out the perfect getaway. Well, you can never go wrong with Whistler! It's less than three hours away and offers something for everyone. I had three priorities for this trip (other than not parenting anyone): Peak Suspension Bridge, hiking Train Wreck Trail and eating good food.
Are you looking for a fun new adventure? Whistler, B.C. has many different options in the summer such as ziplining, hiking, mountain biking, river rafting, and ATVing. Most people are familiar with their Peak 2 Peak Gondola which holds the Guinness World Record for longest and highest lift and now they have just opened up a new experience for thrill seekers: The Peak Suspension Bridge.
Peak Suspension Bridge located at the very top of the mountain: Can you see it on the peak?
Looking for an adventure paired with phenomenal views? How does side-by-side zip-lining from one mountain to another in Whistler's backcountry sound? Kai and I were able to experience Superfly Ziplines this past weekend and it was the perfect combination of adrenaline and awe; it even includes two of Canada's longest ziplines at about one kilometer long!
Two years ago, my whole family went to Whistler for 3 days and it was awesome! When Joanne suggested it again months and months ago, we were so in!! Although we are leaving in 24 hours (YIKES!!!) for the airport, we were so glad to fit this trip in. A HUMONGOUS thank you to dad and Joanne for this Whistler getaway. It is a wonderful stress free way to hang out as family. We LOVE it.
Whistler is just so `us'. I hope that sometime in the next year, Gary and I can come here just the two of us. As much as I love my kids and doing almost everything with them, I do need a break once in a while. Oh man, how are we going to do the next 3 weeks?! I can see why people bring a nanny along on holidays:)
We spent the past three days hiking, swimming, and eating. Loved it. The kids probably did the water slide about 100 times. All three of our kids LOVE the water.
{Joanne's daughter Annelise had a baby girl to add to the ever growing number of babies!}
Below is a video of Nya going down the waterslide. She's a bit worried in the dark but then once we're out, she's a happy little girl!
Oh boy, I'm realizing that all of our photos are iPhone and GoPro ones...must get the real camera out on holidays! It's just a bit trickier when our hands are already pretty full!!
{I know there are a lot of pictures of Nya and I together, she is pretty much attached to me now. This is good as I don't have to chase after her but wow, my right arm is going to fall off.}
Here's one more video Gary put together of the water slide...
All right. I've got to finish packing. I feel like how I did the morning before Gary and I got married. Nervous excitement. Can't say I like this feeling. All my nervousness is kid related. Please let them not be super overtired and CRAZY. Please let them stay healthy and safe. Please let them sleep. Oh how I wish I had a glass of wine right now...
All right team. The next time I post, we will be in the Philippines!!!!
