Gondola Part 1

This past Saturday, we had to go to Coquitlam to get a part for our dishwasher. The boys were up early (pre-7am) so we got an early start on the day. The Port Mann was clear sailing (aka: we got to go the speed limit) and getting the part took no time at all. Dan and I didn't really have a set plan for the day, but had packed to be gone all day. We went to the Homesteader's Emporium in East Van and payed a quick visit to Jordan and Carlye, who live only a block away. Then we started driving. The boys both fell asleep quickly, so we decided that our best bet was to drive, drive, drive! 

We figured we would end up somewhere near Squamish, but we made it to Whistler before the boys woke up. We decided that we really wanted to ride the peak to peak gondola (ya know, since we were in the area).
 
Before you ride the Peak to Peak gondola, you have to take a mini gondola up to the top of the mountain. Its about a 25 minute ride, and definitely the highlight of our day.
  And the most interesting spot to date where I have breastfed.
  
It was a hot ride up to the top-definitely needed more ventilation! Joel really LOVED the ride and kept pointing out the window and saying WOW!

  2. Fabulous! We used to do summer vacations like that, although we'd leave in the evening and drive as far as we could during the night before the kids would wake up.
