Whis-a-Whir (as T-Man fondly refers to it...)

Ben has gone to Whistler, BC for the past 3 years. Remember THIS post last year?! Well, this year we decided to tag along and had a GREAT time on Microsoft's dime...thx Bill! :) Ben was in meetings, at dinner's and entertaining people 24/7 so we hung out at the pool (it was super warm--we even swam in the rain!), watched movies in our hotel room, went on walks through the village (the leaves were GORGEOUS!) ate at the Spaghetti Factory and Rocky Mtn. Chocolate Factory (can I just say THE BEST caramel apples on the PLANET?!) and relaxed! It was nice to have a week free from cleaning, paying bills, yard work, phonecalls, etc.

I do have to say, it was pretty funny to see Ben react to us and our messes. He is DEFINITELY used to traveling alone! "Boys! Boys! I don't like my bed messed up!" Too funny.

Anyway, Thx for letting us crash your party babe! You're the best. Love you.

NICE! I always think of Whistler as a ski resort town. It's weird to see it with pictures of kids in pools. Glad you had fun babe.

that definitely looks like a better time compared to last year! ;)

I did a blog book, but didn't use Blurb...I'm too cheap. Becca used Costco's program and really liked it. I actually "faked" my book ~ it took a long time but it only cost $20. :)
