Dogmania!

No, we didn't get a dog... But we did this 1,000 piece 'DOGMANIA' puzzle, courtesy of Ravensberger!

Whistler (and Squamish) Vibrations

Went to Whistler on Saturday and stayed the night with Andy and Nikki in Squamish that night. Any day of snowboarding at Whistler is amazing, but this day pretty much took the cake. Loads of snow the previous week, sunshine, good company, and cold temperatures made for a perfect day. The only imperfect thing was the fact it was so crowded...didn't matter, we had a blast anyway. Thanks to Andy and Nikki for the wonderful hospitality and for taking us to the Grizzly!!! We owe you one!


The crew...Mark, Meghan, Nikki, and Andy.

The line! Didn't matter though...look at all that lovely snow in the background!

So they have this gondola at Whistler now, that connects the Whistler Peak with the Blackcomb Peak...pretty freaky stuff. We had to ride it. This thing stretches for an eternity, and is supported by only four towers. The valley between the towers is massive...and the drop is ridiculous. Photos, obviously, cannot do it justice. Ride it when you get the chance.

The drop. Each gondola holds 20 people, and some of them have glass bottoms; ours didn't unfortunately. Check out how small the gondola looks in the upper left hand corner of this photo.

This ones for you Dean & Melissa...ahhh, such good memories!

The Grizzly Bar & Grrrill Pub, Squamish, BC. As your attorney I advise you to have some drinks at this place as soon as humanly possible. You must experience it for yourself.

Portland is a fun place.

We went to Portland a couple weeks back, to visit Stevie & Monica. Jeff & Natalie live there as well, and Travis, Jim, and Dean & Melissa all came to enjoy good company in a nice setting. Portland really is a nice setting for a reunion of sorts. Some of these photos are Stevie's, and can be found on his blog, and probably on Facebook as well. But figured might as well post them to one more place on the World Wide Web.


The most yummiest cupcakes we've ever had.

Here is your ultimate tourist shot, out front of Voodoo Doughnuts. The maple bar with bacon on top is fun to eat.

Posse up!

Meghan and Mark down by the schoolyard. Forgot the name of this place, so schoolyard will have to suffice.

It snowed in Portland. Been a very snowy winter.

Meghan Poppins!

The Blazers blew the Lakers out on this night. That's okay though, they just better hope they don't play the Lakers in the playoffs.

Crappy photo (thanks Stevie) of Mark in Laker gear in front of the Rose Garden. Yeah, there was some heckling...
