Hi friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! We ventured up to Whistler and had the. best. time. We finally have figured out how to travel with a baby - rent a condo. It was worlds easier (and half the price) of hotel rooms. We shared a two bedroom/two bathroom condo with our friends and it worked like a charm. We booked a place that had a swimming pool and was across the street from the village's playground. It was the perfect spot because we could come and go depending on their sleep schedules. And at night, once the kids were tucked in bed (sweet victory!) we could make a delicious dinner and stay up late visiting. The men and women traded off taking care of the babes so that we could take advantage of some downhill biking. I've done the ziptrekking and ATV rides at Whistler, but you get the most bang for your buck doing the downhill riding. You get to see Whistler's amazing scenery from the chair lifts and then get an adrenaline boost as you speed down the hillside on your bike. I rented a bike, the armour and got a three lift pass for $110. Each run down takes approx. half an hour. And, just like skiing, you can make it as easy or challenging as you'd like - the rides are based on your skill level (green - beginner, blue - intermediate and black diamond runs for the technical wizards/batshit crazy). There is something empowering about being geared up in body armour, letting go of the brakes and feeling yourself pick up speed (and then quickly grabbing the brakes, of course). At one point, I found myself shouting out, "this is so much fun!" You're only as old as you feel right? (Don't get the crow's feet fool you!) I hope you had a rad weekend and continue to push yourself out of your comfort zone because great things can happen.
