Whistler vacay with the family

After spending a few days at the Sushwap, we continued our vacation over in Whistler, the drive alone took 5 hours!!!!! and the hubby did all that himself, poor him I can imagine people would be thinking but poor hubby suffers with vertigo and ends up in a vicious circle where he has major issues driving along roads that have shear drops at the side of him or he is driving through mountain ranges both of which we encountered on this drive, despite offering to take the wheel on three occasions hubby decides its 'safer' if he's holding the wheel....safer for who?

 These first few pictures are of Thompson river

We finally arrived with sore backs and butts at our hotel where I got us a great deal through booking.com its perfectly placed across the way from the famous Araxi restaurant so the hustle and bustle of Whistler Village wasn't too bad
There was a little issue at the booking in time where the booking only reserved one room instead of two, that was soon resolved by the lovely 'Hartman' who was pleasant and reserved another room as I had paid for both rooms...

As you can see below the moody weather was rolling in !

 

This is our room :) the power shower was great!

On our first morning we went across the lobby to 'Canada House Restaurant' for breakfast and this was the inside .......

 

 

I ordered Eggs Benedict for my breakfast and whilst it may look nice I can assure you the hollandaise sauce was overwhelming! it was too rich :(

 

One of my 'happy places' to shop with cute T-shirts and yes I bought a couple

On our second day in whistler we planned to do the gondola ride....but that's for my next post.

 

Hope you have enjoyed popping over to view my blog thanks for coming bye!
