The beginning of our family vacation! We flew out of Phoenix, AZ going to Vancouver, BC. The difference in the two places is amazing. So green and lush in the north, dry and brown here in the southwest. Once we landed, got our luggage and rental car we headed north to Whistler, a ski town about an hour north of Vancouver. We stayed the night there and explored the following day before our Cruise ship left. The town of Whistler is so quaint and friendly. Even in the middle of May there were still people heading up the slopes to get in some snowboard or ski time. (if only we had the time!!)The cobblestone paths were lined with tulips and daffodils!

After a good breakfast we decided to take a drive a little past town to see what there was to see. Green lake, as well as some amazing views at the next town over.

On our way back to Vancouver we stopped by Shannon falls. I absolutely love waterfalls and this one ranks quite high. It was flowing full and fast. There were several Dogwood trees in bloom as well. The variety of plant and tree life up here was specular. Even the dandelions scattered about were nice to see!

Once we got back to Vancouver and boarded the ship it was just about time for dinner. We had the early seating. We were able to wander the ship a bit and watch it head out to see which was nice.

This was a fantastic start to an incredible trip!
