Weekend Getaway: Whistler

After a nice, scenic drive, we arrived at our gorgeous accommodations in Whistler. We dropped off our stuff, drove the rental car to Avis and walked back to our hotel. The first thing we did was take a nap in our nice air conditioned room. Mr. Stannix had to wake up just before dinner and head to the first part of his training. I slept right on through to 8:00PM. This trip was mostly about seeing Mr. Stannix, and also mostly about catching up on some much needed sleep!

Mr. Stannix was busy with courses from 8AM-5PM, so I usually spent my days doing a lot of sleeping and a little bit of exploring. I'm pretty sure the last time I took two naps a day was when I was very little, and it felt awesome!

 While Mr. Stannix spent most of his day here...

 I loved exploring the little shops! I found some awesome fleece Christmas jammies for the boys that were buy one get one. A deal I couldn't pass up! Hyrum has been wanting footy jammies since he grew out of his last pair, so I think he will be extra excited!

 On our last night together we discovered a cozy little Mexican restaurant tucked away in the corner of Whistler. We both love Mexican food, but were extra surprised when we got the menu (cactus on an enchilada, what?). It turned into Mike googling images on the restaurants website to help us decide what to order. Our waiter was Mexican and even spoke Spanish to us (thankfully I know a bit). It was a super fun experience.

 Gotta love that authentic Mexican stuff!

 We had big plans to go on an evening hike, but neither of us were really feeling up to it, so we just walked down to Olympic Plaza to check things out. And you can't go to Olympic Plaza without taking a picture in the rings!

I loved exploring at night since most of the heat had gone. Usually by then a nice breeze was sweeping through the village to cool things off. We finished off the night with a favorite TV episode and I packed up some of my stuff for my long day of traveling the next day. I sure do love spending time with that Mr. Stannix of mine! I can't wait for him to come home!
