Whistler, BC

While my family was in town we decided to take a day and go up to Whistlerr! The drive up to Whistler is probably one of the most spectacular drives you will EVER take! They call it "The Sea to Sky Highway" and really, that is pretty much what it was. They unfortunately do NOT have any "viewpoints" on the way up where you actually just look out onto the ocean...so you'll have to just take my word on this one! :o)

So Whistler will be the home of the Olympic Village for the 2010 Winter Olympics!! SO EXCITING!! It was so much fun to go up and see a lot of what I saw in Utah during the 2002 games!! I never thought I would be living in a city that would be hosting the Olympics again, but here I am and I am pretty excited!! It's SO close!

Here is Emma with her 2 grandpas...such a great picture! With one grandpa in the Czech Republic and one in Utah, its very rare when we get to have them both around at the same time!! Couldn't pass up this great picture!

Emma just pushing the strollers around, she was great as long as we weren't pushing her...she just HAD to walk.

Ahhhh, the infamous podium shot!! Just as I remembered it!

And then the bobsled!

Can you see Emma?



And this is what you get when you have to disturb Emma from her wonderful walk in Whistler to get a photo of her and grandpa by the great canadian moose dressed as an RCMP.

my dad at the base of Whislter mountain...it's a bike park right now!

Myself with my father-in-law, this is one of the viewpoints we stopped at on the way down to Vancouver. This is on the "sea to sky highway" (just a little glimpse of the gorgeous drive, just not of the gorgeous ocean)

I just have to tell you that I SOOOO covet all of the experiences that you have had in the few short years that you have been married. You have got to do more than most people get to do in a lifetime.

I sure love you. Give Emma a hug for me.
