Sister's B'day Visit

In September my sister was able to visit :)  Since I've been building up hotel points since I got here I decided a little road trip was in order.  We drove up to Grouse Mountain.  We did some hiking, although the famed "grind" was a little too packed so we took the tram.  Even with out the major train, we found some spectacular views.




  and checked out the Grizzly Bear Exhibit.  Cute little bears and just a wire fence between you and them...



Becca braved the fence and got close enough for a picture before we hit the road to head up another mountain to Whistler...






Our room in Whistler was FANTASTIC.... but I forgot to take pictures.  We checked in, grabbed some dinner then crashed out.  A bike race delayed our departure but we made the most of it by hiking to a lake, where we found a nice spot to read out books...



Then made a stop with the Olympic rings before we headed back down the mountain...







Before we headed back to the States to get Becca on her flight home we took a drive through Lynden, WA. I learned what a Blue Town was... I never would have thought a whole town could be closed for Sunday, but yup.  The only thing open was the sidewalks in this place!  It definitely made for a quiet end of trip for us.
