Saturday. We had a leisurely morning (needed after the long drive yesterday) and then went into Whistler to explore the Olympic Village. Whistler was where many of the Olympians lived during the 2010 Winter Olympics and in summer these days, the town caters to the mountain biking crowd, among other outdoor sports like white water rafting. What a hoot! The Village is like a very upscale outdoor mall (lots of high end sportswear brand stores), with lots of delicious looking restaurants, and tons of very fit people. It was very pet friendly so we saw lots of “cute doggies” everywhere and had to watch out for mountain bikers who were on the way to take the gondola up to the top of the mountain. We ate at a Mongolian grill restaurant that was delicious, and then watched the guys at the nearby skateboard park for a bit before heading back to the campsite.
It was like Endor. You could almost spot Ewoks in the trees! (Star Wars reference for anyone who doesn’t know) 
The boys and I took a walk around the campground. We had a great site with shade, and the sunny sites had a great view. 
A very nice dishes station so it was quick and easy to do the few dishes we used each day at the campsite. 
Huge pinecones from these trees. 
A welcome Totem pole that was up during the Olympics. 
Everyone here was really in shape. I mean really fit and active. To the point that when I saw a hula hoop class and a yoga class going on at the same time in the common area, it almost felt like a Saturday Night Live skit! 
A gorgeous hotel with some of the Nordic ski slopes (and mountain bike trails during summer) in the background. 
This place is awesome. So much to look at and so many activities to partake in. So fun! 
One chair was for up to 4 bikes, and the next was for up to 4 people. 
Lots of BMX enthusiasts were waiting in line to try this track. 
Mongolian entrees. When we have exploring days like this, we tend to eat a morning meal like eggs, and then one bigger late lunch meal, then just cheese and crackers for a snack back at the campsite later. 
Carson even ate some! He had shrimp and corn. The cook in the back was fun to talk to also. He loved the Packers and camping. 
You are welcome!

Carson went to skateboard camp a few years ago and though he didn’t really take to the sport after that summer, he was definitely entranced watching the cool tricks the skateboarders were attempting. 
Back at the campsite for some dinner for the boys (they are always hungry).
