Where’s the peanut butter?!

Moshe just reminded me I haven’t been updating this. So let’s get the ball
back on track!

Last weekend we went to Whistler for the official start of the late season
and had a blast. I’ll note to the people who came up with various lame
excuses to not join us on the trip that the fridge magnet on our lodging
correctly assessed it as “For those people who choose to live beyond the
dreams of others.” Our 3 story unit at the href="http://www.whiskijack.com/images/photos/360/VGH_EXT.jpg">Village Gate
House (the corner unit + side) had a private hot tub/steam room, private
bedroom, balcony, upstairs single beds and a large living, dining, and
kitchen area. Real World filming crew optional.

Going across the Canadian border we skipped the usual I-5 or Blaine truck
route that goes from Seattle to Whistler and tried the href="http://www.bts.gov/itt/cross/ports/port_wa.html">Lynden border
crossing. Basically we got on 539 in Bellingham, crossed the border where
the road becomes Canada 13 and that took us straight to the trans-canada
1. This worked out very well.

We also went on ZipTrek Ecotours - a
new zipline outfit with 4 cables running back and forth across Fitzsimmons
Creek. This was much fun. Our tour guide, Rob, mentioned that he didn’t get
much of a rush out of it, though, and later mentioned that he was a
firefighter and heard there was some great money and adrenaline involved as

jumper. I didn’t mention I stare at a fancy TV screen all day.
