Another old post. The first weekend in June, Justine and I did an early season race in Whistler. I ran the half marathon; Justine ran the 10K and despite the weather being less-than-ideal, we had a fabulous weekend!
Read MoreBirthday Weekend in Victoria
Continuing the surprise visit, Justine had booked us to head over to Vancouver Island. It was actually the weekend after my birthday, and was on Dad's birthday, so we had lost to celebrate. We had a fun time exploring our provincial capital, and had perfect weather for doing so.
Read MoreA Surprise Visit for my Birthday
Going back and catching up on some older posts. This one goes all the way back to May for my birthday, where Mom and Dad and Justine conspired to have Mom and Dad come for a surprise visit for a week! This set of photos is from the day after my birthday, when we headed out to Reifel to see what was going on with the birds.
Read MoreVarious Pictures from a Crazy Start to the Year
This year is starting to turn into one of the craziest ever - and that's saying something for me. As a placeholder, I thought I'd share some random photos.
Read MoreLast Ski Day for the Season?
Despite how busy things have been, we decided to head up to Whistler for the day, for what will probably be the last day of skiing for the season. It ended up being a great day - 17 cm of fresh powder and an early start made for some great runs.
Read MoreA Weekend in Las Vegas with Shawn and Leanne
This past weekend Justine headed down to Las Vegas to meet Shawn and Leanne for some fun in the sun. It was a fun, busy weekend and we got to check out the sights and visit some favorite spots. Shawn and Leanne were there for the CONEXPO-CON/AGG & IFPE 2017 heavy equipment show, so we got to check that out - and had a surprise visit with Uncle Dave and Linda!
Read MoreLast Day on Maui - Whale Watching
Our last day on Maui was a good one. We got out whale watching in the morning, and had some great sightings including a huge number of breaches. It was a great morning, and then the rain moved in...

On our second last day in Maui, we drove out to the beach at Pa'ia to watch the surf. And we found turtles, and got chased by the weather.
Read MoreAnniversary Dinner, Diving in Maui, then A Drive Up the Coast
Dinner at our favourite restaurant on Maui; a morning spent scuba diving and a drive up the coast to part of the isalnd we hadn't seen. It was a full day!

Some pictures from our three snorkeling trips during our days on Maui.
Read MoreLava Hikes and Waterfalls
We had an incredible last full day on the Big Island. We got to see the lava fountain into the ocean; watched an active lava flow creep across the island, and walked on lava that had hardened less than 10 minutes earlier. Then we drove some of the incredible coast, and stopped at some amazing waterfalls. We wrapped up our day at Volcano House, and had dinner in the glow of the crater.
Read MoreHeading to Maui
Friday was our day to transition from the Big Island to Maui. We didn't have a lot of time to explore, but we saw some cool stuff on the Big Island before the quick flight to Maui. We didn't get up to much on Maui, but got settled in and checked out Lahaina.
Read MoreA Crazy Day on the Big Island
Our second day in Hawaii was packed full of adventure. We started the day with a trip over to the crater at sunrise, followed by a hike along the Kilauea-iki Trail. We spent some time exploring the nearby town of Hilo and some amazing gardens, before heading out on our evening adventure to the summit of Mauna Kea! Our busiest day by far, on what was turning out to be a not very relaxing vacation.

A quick bonus post of the GPS trail from our hike across the extinct crater. Totally forgot I had captured this.
Read MoreA Well Deserved Winter Break in Hawaii
Justine and I got married five years ago this week, and so we wanted to head back to Hawaii where we got married, to celebrate the occasion and enjoy some R&R in the sun. This will be the first of a number of posts, and will likely take a while to get through. I have lots of photos to get through, and lots of work travel coming up.
Read MoreA Late Start to the Ski Season
This week kicked off our participation in the ski season - way late really, especially since we've received such a large amount of snow early on. Being away over Christmas meant we missed a lot of good powder days, so we'll try and make up for it over the next couple of months.

A first post in 2017! While I haven't quite finished with 2016, Justine and I did have a fun day out snowshoeing up near Whistler on our first day back after the holidays. So I thought I would share some pictures from our day out in the snow.
