Home Again!

Here we are back from Whistler BC!!! We are all sick as dogs. Tim had it worst, with a feaver and evil cough, but we all have a nasty cough, hard to talk, and general aches and pains and lackluster feeling... However, dispite the evil bug within, Whistler was great!!! Sunny and warm with surprizingly good snow, Ani and I had 3 amazing days of 8-3:30 skiing! We skied the olympic downhill run and giant slolum courses as well as the most excellent "Moror Cross" run! Highlights were Ani's first boot hike up to Blackcolm Glacier where the bumps were soft and forgiving. Vast wilderness and amazing skiing! We also skied the gladed bump run of Authers Choise and many cruisers and terrain parks. Jon got way too much air at one point, but landed on his butt safely.

Laura got out Cross Country skiing every day and Tim was still feeling fine on the first day and he cross country skied once. Everyone skated and swam. Tim discovered he loved riding the Gondolas and he and Laura spent many hours riding the various gondolas and eating french fries at the lodges.

Laura's brother Rich is well and the cousins Rose and Christopher are as entertaining as always. Our 11 hour drive home through traffic and the fog of sickness was a great starter for our trip accross the country next year! And at HOME- there were red sox tickets in the mail for Fenway Park in July, crocuses are up and blooming in the yard and our dogs and bird are very glad we are home! Soon will be a link to Uncle Richard's utube video of us skiing!
