We went to Whistler over the weekend for Whistler Craft beer festival. Well, technically, the guys went for the beer, Ja and I hung around in the village with Luca. Bobby and I left around 9am on Saturday (quick pit stop at Caffe Divano for a couple of Americanos... and then at Squamish for a pee break), and we were at our hotel just after 11am. We weren't able to check in yet, so we wandered around the village and had lunch. Luckily, we left pretty early because Brad-Ja-Luca ended up getting stuck in traffic (there were a couple of accidents along the way later on in the afternoon) so we were lucky and we missed these completely.
After Bobby and Brad went into the festival, Ja and I took Luca to the park. Fun times, "riding the boat" and "climbing a tree house". Then we went for ice cream (mmm ice cream!). Side note: I think I am becoming lactose intolerant... so dairy makes my stomach hurt. I've stopped eating cereal and drinking lattes due to discomfort. But let's face it, if there is ever a time I am going to suffer for dairy, it will only be because I ate ice cream!! :) Anyway, after ice cream, we wandered the village aimlessly. Luca had to burn off the sugar he ate. He led us in circles around the village (we stopped to look at flowers, and fire truck and a "waterfall"). Luca was adorable, right after seeing the waterfall, he would randomly stop in front of people sitting down to let them know how he saw the waterfall. Cuteness overload! After wandering aimlessly, we went back to my hotel room (they hadn't checked in yet) to relax and get some a/c. The beer festival finished soon after that so we went for dinner. The guys got a 5$ off coupon at select restaurants at the festival... and unfortunately, we ended up at the GLC. They seriously have the worst food in Whistler. I have only been a total of two times, and both times I have been let down. All the other restaurants were busy so we had no choice... We got to the GLC and they weren't busy at all... which just goes to show how terrible their food is.
Anyway, so that was Saturday. Sunday, I felt like crap (women issues). Bobby and I had a quick breakfast at Starbucks and then we went home. At the Starbucks closest to the gondolas, I FINALLY found these glass tumblers (all the stores in Vancouver I have been into only sell the plastic ones). So I bought two, one for me and one for Bobby, who did not want to be left out without one.
It took less than two hours to get home because there was no traffic. I really wanted to get home early to clean up/grocery shop/do boring adult things in preparation for the work week to come.
We left the village around 9:20 and got home around 11am. I went to check up on Kiwi and she was cold and border line hibernating. Little miss not so fatty anymore has really started to slim down ever since no longer having to share her wheel. Anyway, she's back to normal now...
Happy Monday!!
