walking on travels

We may just be starting to feel the cool breeze of autumn blowing through Seattle, but snowboard season is fast approaching. I am already looking at the calendar to see when we can get back up to Whistler. Dek should be able to start ski lessons. I can finally strap on my board and fall [...]

Snow that is piled up higher than your child is always a bit daunting when trying to find something to entertain your toddler. At least this is what I thought before we arrived in Whistler at the end of January. I knew we could go sledding, but other than that, I figured we would just [...]

I am slowly coming off of my Whistler high. The posts are almost done (I swear!) and we are headed up to Vancouver this Saturday for another long weekend adventure. As I flipped through my notes and pictures something dawned on me. We are going to a lot of Olympic sights this year, but never [...]

  Nothing can stop my kid from enjoying a playground. The sniffles, a down pour or even 110 degrees, Dek will happily go down the slide, fly through the air on a swing and climb any ladder you set in front of him. I have a feeling he isn’t the only toddler out there that [...]

Once again we took a chance, booked using a LivingSocial Escape voucher and hit the road. We headed to Whistler to stay in our very own 1-bedroom condo at Aspens on Blackbomb in Whistler’s Upper Village. A condo is our ideal set up with a toddler in tow. Dek was able to sleep in our [...]

There are a lot of dining options in Whistler. There are also a lot of bars. Not all may be the best place for your to bring your exhausted kids after a long day of excitement on the mountain. Here are 4 places we checked out during our trip. The top 3 we will definitely [...]

Sometimes the universe sends you little messages. It’s up to us to listen. When we don’t, drastic measures may be initiated, like taking down your camera. Oh yeah people. It happened. On Sunday night we headed to the Whistler Blackcomb Fire and Ice Show in Skiers Plaza. I had my point and shoot all ready [...]

We did a lot of firsts with Dek in Whistler. First ride on a sled. First dip in an outdoor hot tub in the dead of winter, and first time strapping on a pair of ice skates. Since we were unable to hit the slopes we had to get creative. We ended up spending a [...]

I never really got the whole “let’s jump in a hot tub in the snow” thing. I mean, you have to get in a swimsuit and then walk out into the cold in order to get in one. I hate being cold. This doesn’t sound like fun to me. Sure once you are in the [...]
