A Weekend Road Trip

Happy Monday... and last day of April... ALREADY!? Well, I can't really complain since we are now well into Spring and it's feeling like it. The weather wasn't awful this weekend, so on Saturday we packed into the car and headed north to Whistler. If you've never been on the Sea to Sky Highway, I have to tell you - these photos can not do the whole experience justice! Every single view is jaw droopingly beautiful... especially for someone coming from the big smoke/concrete jungle of Toronto. This was our first glimpse of the beauty that was in store for us...

(Yup, really doesn't do it justice) Though there are a ton of opportunities along this road to stop and take in the views, we opted to head straight to Whistler, and save our stops for the drive home. It felt like a pretty quick drive (especially since Halle napped the whole way there), and we were happy to arrive and explore Whistler Village...

Our visit wasn't too long, but we enjoyed every second of it and we'll definitely be making a repeat trip - hopefully for a night or two. B is dying to get on those ski runs! So, after lunch and a quick jaunt around the Village, we jumped back into the car and started the drive back home. This was also our chance to stop a few times and take in the stunning scenery...

Our final stop on the drive home was our absolute favourite. We pulled into Porteau Cove and were instantly blown away by the views...

By far, my most favourite photo of the day! I couldn't possible love these two any more!

While B and I were checking out the Otter playing in the water... Halle was taken by the dog that was walking nearby. This girl loves her some puppies!

It was the perfect taste of all of the wonderful adventures that we have to come. Plus, it was nice to get away from the house and unpacking for a day, and take in some of that fresh mountain air. We both feel so lucky to have the opportunity to live in the beautiful province, and experience it with our little girl! I can't wait to share more of our adventures as they come... BUT, now that we are getting settled I'm really excited to start sharing more looks at our house with you! We've been working away on the living room, Halle's room and our bedroom - so I'll be giving you some looks into a few rooms this week, as well as a little DIY I started last week! 

What did you get up to this past weekend? Did you stick close to home... or venture out of the house like we did?
