Good Day for a Hike

Today we went for a hike at my favorite place TIGER Mountain. It was cold outside and started out a little bit rainy but that did not stop us. It was time to get out of the house for a while.

Mom stopped to look at some rocks so I had playtime and then she called me over and showed me a rock it was a FOSSIL!!!  Can you see it???  It is a fossil of a leaf that is so cool!  I wanted to look for more fossils maybe we would find a fossil of a tiger!!!!

After a little while mom said hey how about we find a sunny spot and have some lunch and I said OKay!!  Here we are getting ready for lunch.  We’ll look for a tiger fossil another day.

We were in downtown Seattle that is not too far from home but the confurunce lasted 2 days so we stayed in the city. Here I am looking around downtown.

The next day we went to a forum I do not know what that is mom said it is like a conFURence. At first I had to stay in the satchel. This  is me and you can also see Angelita’s shoes I sat next to her.

The main thing at the conference is to have lots of snacks. Mom are you going to eat that cookie all by yourself?

20150316_125418

Then that night we went out to dinner with some new friends we made at the conFURence. This  is Lisa and Gary and Milo and me.  Mom was so busy  yakking she did not get a picture until the very end after all the food was gone!  Lisa is totally gorgeous and Gary and Milo are super handsome. Not as handsome as me though.

Goodbye Auntie Darcy

Uh oh it looks like Auntie Darcy is packing up to go home. I don’t know anyone else who travels with a sail bag but it is good to be prepared for anything.

20150307_061206

Here we are at the airport saying Good Bye. I will miss you!!!

20150307_065725

It was sad to see Auntie Darcy go but later that day we looked at all the yummy snacks she brought us from Hawaii.  Hey mom can we open up the potato chips?? Tigers love Maui potato chips. Or how about the chocolates?? I will be good this time and not get over-excited I promise. For real this time.

Road Trip Home

We had a super duper time at Whistler but now is time to go home. Here we are on the way home at Horseshoe Bay which is very beautiful. It is early in the morning.

20150306_064514

There was a fantastic totem pole where we stopped to stretch our legs.

20150306_064725

After a couple of hours in the car Mom was getting snappish so we stopped to have some breakfast at the Calico Café it was delicious! I LOVE restaurants!

20150306_095801

Here are some friends I made at the café these lovely ladies are Pat and Sherry!

20150306_102212

Look at all the yummy pastries in the restaurant bakery!  We should get one of everything. That would  make mom less growly in the car.

Tigers and Bears oh my!

Whistler is famous for having bears so I was always on the lookout for bears. Mom said we may not see any because they are probably hibernating.  But I saw some!

20150304_105743

Here I am with one that is perfect for holding skis and snowboards! ha ha!

20150304_132344

Also we saw a herd of skiing and snowboarding cows.  I do not know what that was about.

Shopping at Whistler

Wow the Whistler village is so great there are a lot of super duper places to buy stuff for tigers. This is me with Miyubi and Junko they are totally gorgeous! and work in a café called Hot Buns!!!  That is such a great name for a cafe!!! Ha ha ha!

20150305_090023

This is an awesome bakery we went to with superlicious pastries.  The beautiful lady helping Auntie Darcy was from Ireland and had the most fantastic accent!!  You can hardly see me in the picture among all the muffins and cookie bars!

20150305_091637

We went to the Visitor Center and talked with Carmen and Shannon they are so nice and are so beautiful.  But even with their great directions Mom and Aunt Darcy still got lost. No surprise there.

20150305_090741

When me and Mom were walking around we saw a pub where there was a party going on!!!  I wanted to go in but mom was afraid I would cause too much trouble.  I don’t know why she thinks that I have been good for at least 2 days in a row.

20150305_163016

But I got to make some new friends outside the pub!  This is JohnnyT and his friend I did not hear his name it was so noisy at the pub!  Also I think they  had been drinking a little bit. Mom will not let me have a drink she says I will cause too much trouble.  Anyway they were really nice and super handsome.  Not as handsome as me though.

20150305_163031

And here I am with Mitsu she is so beautiful and works in one of the shops.

20150303_101713

Later on mom went back to Mitsu’s store and bought me a Whistler Blackcomb pin to put on my bandana!!!  Mom said she went in about a hundred stores and none of them had a Whistler bandana but I like the pin even better!

Riding the Gondolas

There are a lot of gondolas at Whistler we rode them every day it is so easy to get up the mountain.  There is a special one called Peak-To-Peak that carries you from the Whistler Mountain to the Blackcomb Mountain.  I was not scared I am a tiger. 20150304_110606 This gondola is red my favorite color!!  And also it is an engineering marvel amazing!!  And there are super views!  We were very careful to get photos that showed another gondola going by in the other direction. 20150304_110744

Snowboarding at Whistler!!

OMG we have been snowboarding every day here!  Here I am with Auntie Darcy.

20150304_125736

Look how sunny and super fantastic beautiful it is!!!

20150304_111910

Here we are at the top of Whistler Mountain!!  Well, almost the top.  You have to be a really good snowboarder to go all the way to the tippy-top because you have to ride back down. Mom and Auntie Darcy are always asking around for the easiest way down so I don’t think they are very good.

20150304_125350

Here I am with mom after about the millionth time she fell. She decided to take some pictures and pretend she stopped on purpose ha ha ha!

20150304_123648

And here I am with Rob he is a photographer from England!  He works taking pictures of visitors on Blackcomb Mountain but we took a picture of him!  He had a great accent and was veryyyy handsome. Not as handsome as me of course.

20150304_112720

We have been having a super fantastic time!!  Here is another picture of me and mom after she fell down again  ha ha! She falls down a lot.
