After we dropped them off, we went up the trail for a ways...it is beautiful and quite steep.
Then we drove further up to the Olympic sites in the Whistler area. The ski jumps were amazing! They look way higher in real. We couldn't see some others venues in the area because of work being done on them.
The Inukchuk is the symbol used for the Vancouver Olympics so of course we had to get some pictures of it.
Then we drove to Whistler Village, walked around to find something to eat, but ended up getting a $6 ice cream cone to share because everything else was too expensive! Then we ate in Squamish on the way home.
We stopped by this beautiful river on the way home, but it doesn't show that we are really high up compared to the river. I risked my life for this shot and no one can even tell!Then we headed for home enjoying the drive along the ocean and mountains!

Oh my gosh! That makes me so excited for the olympics. That's going to be so much fun. Mom, I usually try to take pictures that look daring and life-threatening, but are actually quite safe. No sense in dying for an average photo.
Love all the pictures. It's getting me excited for the Olympics too. I want a picture beside that stone whatchamacallit too! You are smart to make the trip to Whistler BEFORE the Olympics though. Chris and I got tickets to the ski jumping at the Salt Lake Olympics and it was amazing. What a fun day and beautiful drive. I love you guys.
Yeah, I hope we're able to make it out in February! It would be so much fun. I love that you guys are doing fun day trips just the two of you.
Great post. It's been way too long since I've been up there. I'm not sure if I've ever been to Whistler Village in the summer. I sure hope we can make it back in February. We're planning on it. We call Mike's old room.
Cool pictures. I was getting a little worried with the video though thinking we were going way too fast for those corners :)
