Anniversary trip to Whistler

Since we moved at the end of June to a new house in Puyallup when our 10th wedding anniversary happened, we decided to celebrate over Labor Day weekend this year.


Our first stop was at the Vancouver, British Columbia temple (which is actually in Langley, British Columbia).





The views on the Sea to Sky Highway were beautiful and just a taste of what was to come.


Olympic Rings from the Olympic Games in Whistler in 2010



We had so much good food! This was from a taco place that was one of our favorites.



We got to spend an entire day riding gondolas and ski lifts up to the top of Blackcomb and Whistler mountain.







It was a little foggy but still so beautiful.




A view of the Peak to Peak Gondola that goes between the two mountains.


This Peak to Peak Gondola had a glass bottom which wasn't as scary as it might sound since it was just the center of the floor and not the entire bottom.




Once we got higher on the mountain we found some more Olympic Rings from the 2010 winter games. And it started to get colder the higher we went.




Heading higher still! And now it was kind of sleeting.


The famous Inukshuk







Andrew couldn't believe the guy would just take our picture while we were so close to a bear...




I was a little scared coming up the metal grated catwalk to the gallery to see how the Peak 2 Peak gondola worked but it was very cool.










Our next day was spent zipling over all the beautiful views we saw the day before on the gondola. The only sad part was that we had no pockets so we didn't get to take any pictures. But the weather was much clearer and sunnier on the day we went ziplining so it ended up being better.




I was a little terrified to zipline but after doing it a few times it was fun. Once I knew I was strapped in good I felt more comfortable. It was a wonderful relaxing anniversary trip spent adventuring, shopping, and eating. We even got to see a movie without planning. It was so fun to be spontaneous while we could! Here's to another wonderful 10 years with this guy!
