Blog #6 Spring Break 2015

My favorite part about spring break was going to Whistler with my parents.  My brother was still at Queens so it was just the three of us.  We went on tons of hikes in the forests and mountains.  They were truly breathtaking.  A lake we went to was frozen but you could still see the fresh crisp blue water underneath.  The trails always had nice soft ground, making the walks nice a quiet so we could hear the trees dancing while the wind whistled making the forest sound like it was making a chorus.  The trails didn't have many people on them either, so it was very relaxing and graceful to be able to just walk along without hearing other people talk.  The Whistler village was amazing; we went on a gondola ride called peek to peek where between two mountains a gondola dropped into the valley.  The peek to peek gondola has broken many world records, and there were only two glass floored gondolas but it was just a square in the middle of the cart and you could look down.  In the village they have candy store and knowing my candy and I, I had to go twice because I ran out before we left Whistler to come home.  The views were amazing everywhere you looked and everyone was always so happy.  It did not snow once when we were there but on the very last day it poured rain so we lucked out with the weather.  The meals were very good, we went to restaurants that were top rated on TripAdvisor and the restaurants that represented other countries and cultures were phenomenal.  The gifts shops were always full of unique hand made products and also some very odd and rare products.  I bought a grumpy cat shirt there and I think it was the best decision of my life. I feel it was money well spent both on the shirt and candy.
