off to Whistler we go

We rode the Sea to Sky highway on the way to Whistler. Many stops along the way, particularly at Shannon Falls where Lynn wanted to go. After walking around in Whistler we had lunch. It was so crowded up there as today is a national holiday to celebrate the Queen's birthday. We tried several places which had long waiting lists so ended up at Opa's .I have not ever tried that chain which serves Greek food. My lamb Slouvaki with tzaziki was tender and delicious and Ray's Greek salad was very tasty. So a pleasant surprise. We found Whistler to be very different from the last time we were up there 15 years ago. Not really a big surprise LOL.
But we did enjoy the sunshine, the fresh air and the atmosphere. On the way home we tried to find the eagles at Brackenbridge, no luck there, and Squamish has moved :>)) in the past 15 years.
We did stop at several view sites along the way and Daniel took lots of photos.
Then we stopped over at Horseshoe Bay to watch the boats and the ferries out in the harbour. It was so exhilarating out there in the sea air.
We are all so busy with travel, fresh air and exercise that when we get home sleep comes easy. We ended our day at our favourite fish and chip restaurant Cockney Kings. I had 3 oysters and one piece of fish mmmm....
I hope you all had a good day too.
