Our September Vacation Week with Frank and Laurie

Frank and Laurie came down to spend a week in September for a vacation with us. Since we had just moved to the Lower Mainland we thought it would be good to spend our holiday exploring around our new home.

On a sunny day in September we headed up the Sea to Sky highway and stopped in Squamish at the Shannon Falls...
...then we continued on up towards Whistler and stopped to see the Brandy Wine Falls.

While we were at Brandy Wine Falls we stopped in the forest and had our picnic lunch on a carpet of moss. It was so beautiful.
In the afternoon we made it to Whistler and took the gondola up to the top of the mountain. I can only say that it was totally amazing. The view was stunning and the day was the BEST. We will definitely be going back to Whistler to do a bit of hiking as we got there too late in the day to do any hiking at the top of the mountain. Actually, I'd like to go have a cup of tea at the tea shop that is just a short hike from the lift top.


Since we loved Widgeon Creek Canoe Trip so much I took Frank and Laurie there also. We had a great day there.

In this picture I am trying out a long exposure on the water to get a silky effect.


What a great holiday all week.
