Whistler Girls' Trip

I went up to Whistler for a couple of nights with my girlfriends, Helen and Janet. Our other friend, Susan, couldn't make it, which was disappointing! We went without our kids or husbands and had a blast!

Tonight, after dinner, we walked around the site where the Olympic medal ceremonies took place last year.  The rings look very cool at night.
















These are the "rings" of the Paralympic Games.
















We took turns getting a photo with a giant replica of the torch carried by athletes - first Janet.




















Then me.




















And finally, Helen!




















The totem pole beside the playground is also lit up at night.




















The sky behind the totem made it look really eerie tonight - too bad it doesn't really show up that well in the photo!
















When we got back to our townhouse, we decided to use the masks that we bought at the Body Shop this afternoon. We took some extremely silly pictures, and promised not to share them, but I didn't think Helen would mind this one - it's doesn't show the full facial we had after!
