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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

We are headed up to Whistler for our first winter excursion of the year. I thought this would be Dek’s chance to see snow for the first time, but a freak storm hitting Seattle last week kind of put an end to that. But Seattle snow versus Whistler snow can’t even compare. Dek isn’t going [...]
