On the Road Again

Thank you Willie Nelson! Yes, we are on the road again! This time for some R&R in Canada. Had a beautiful drive through Oregon, by way of Pendleton, where they are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Pendleton Round-up. YEE-HA!!! Wish we could have stayed and checked it out, but we were on a schedule. Headed north through Washington, by way of Omak to check out a couple of clinics that come up once in a while. Pretty area, so maybe someday we might just end up there for a job. We then headed west on highway 20 toward Vancouver, BC. We ended up staying the night in Mazama at an Inn owned by my cousin and his partner. Sweet place! Very rustic in a cozy, comfortable way. Great restaurant, and a fabulous area for hiking, skiing, or just hanging out. We wished we could have stayed longer(but, remember the schedule, oh, yeah.)
Next morning, we were off to the border. Had a crazy drive through Vancouver, the freeway just turns into surface streets through the city. Very slow going, but interesting to see the city. Once we popped out on the other side, it was clear sailing to Whistler. We lucked out with the weather, it was clear and 76 driving up there. What an amazing drive.
We are now hanging out in our condo. Sleeping in, walking around the village, eating good food, taking in the scenery, and generally, just relaxing. Ahhhhhh!
It's raining right now, but if it let's up, we're renting bikes tomorrow and heading out on the Valley Trail. I'll let you know.......
