Oh Canada

We just spent the last 5 days in Whistler Canada. Skiing is one of our favorite winter time activities and Whistler is one of our favorite places to ski. We have been fortunate enough to get a room at the Cascade Lodge in Whistler Village for the third time. It is a resort comprised of all one bedroom condominiums and is just lovely. It has an outdoor heated pool and two giant hot tubs with breathtaking views of the two mountains. It is conveniently located one block from the center of the village, and two blocks from the lifts.

One of our favorite places to ski at Whistler is Seventh Heaven on Blackcomb Mountain:



The views from this area are spectacular:



Getting away once a year in February.......be it to ski or sun ourselves on a warm beach.......has become a tradition for us.

The American Form of Government

It's important all Americans understand our Nation's form of Government. I ran across this simple explanation. It is worth every moment of the approximately 8 minutes this video takes to view. I encourage everyone to watch it and think about how our form of Govt affects you.
