She'll Be Coming 'Round The Mountain

She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes
She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes,
She'll be coming 'round the mountain, she'll be coming 'round the mountain,She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes.....



Friends of ours got a chance to have a 2 bedroom timeshare for a week in Whistler BC ~ and ask us to join them.  I answered YES out before she finished asking me the question!  We have 5 days and 4 nights and great friends to spend time with.


I live in the Greater Vancouver area and always wanted to visit Whistler.  I'm very happy I got the chance to ~ it is so scenic here ~ and every where you look it gets more beautiful ~ it's bustling with energy and there is no snow on the ground ~ they have bike trails ~ they take the chair lift to the top and bike down ~ who knew??





































The condo we're staying in overlooks the Wizard ~ unfortunately it's not in operation right now ~ I'd love to sit on the balcony with a coffee and watch them go.  (I don't ski or bike ~ at all!!)


We went for a walk in the village and had our photo taken at the Olympic Rings ~ how cool is that?? 




We had a great dinner at the Keg and caught up with Robert and Joy.  The next morning we had a beautiful sunrise and a couple visitors on our balcony.















We went Squamish for lunch, and visited Brackendale ~ winter home of the Bald Eagle.  We didn't see any eagles, but we seen Canadian Geese :)



We went to Shannon Falls Provincial Park ~ what a beautiful place, so stunning...


We went sight seeing ~ and saw some awesome sights...
some very patriotic ~ this is a house...


We stopped to watch this guy fly fishing ~ incredible I'm not sure how he doesn't get all tangled up.


We went for scenic drives and came across this old forrest 







We even ran into the Mountain Host :)   I have no idea who the woman is. LOL


And on the way home we stopped at a view point and I took 4 photos and stitched them together to make this panoramic photo ~ simply beautiful :)


We really couldn't have had a better time ~ great friends, food, laughs, conversation ~ Thanks Robert and Joy,
