Headed to Whistler and Vancouver

We're headed to Whistler, British Columbia for a few days next week. Whistler is about a four hour drive from Seattle. We haven't been there since the kids were born, but it's a wonderful destination year round. In the winter, the Whistler Blackcomb Mountain is considered one of the world's great ski resorts (and will host the 2010 Olympics). In Spring and Summer, there's hiking, mountain biking, river tubing, nature walks (including "bear safaris") glacier skiing and more. Whistler Village, at the base of the mountain has lots of family friendly restaurants and tons of shopping.

My husband wants to get in some end of season skiing, and I'm looking forward to hanging out with the kids and playing in the snow. Of course, I'll be bringing along my laptop and blogging about the trip.

On the way back we'll stop in Vancouver for a night or two

I'd love any tips on great kids activities and places to eat! Just comment on this post.

    Hi there, Whistler has an awesome indoor pool with a great kids section. There are fountains and currents, a very warm hot tub and tons of fun. I don't know the age of your kids but there's also an indoor rock climbing wall that is really fabulous as well. When you come through Vancouver, there is a great restaurant off of Commercial Drive called Little Nest. It has all organic food and a big play area for kids. You can actually have a conversation without being interrupted because the kids will be busy playing. Of course, you must go to Granville Island and if you only have a day, that's the place to spend the time. There is the Kids Only Market for kids to shop and play (Camelot Kids is a great toy store there) and all the food you can imagine. It's really one of the gems in the City. And if you need baby equipment, don't drag it all with you, rent it! Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals is happy to help make your trip as convenient as possible! Have a great time.
