After a full three weeks away, we made our first post-snow trip back to Galiano. There had been some storms and other weather, and we were interested to see the state of the place and to start the process of moving from winter to spring. We had lots of projects to do, and it looked like we might have some nice weather to do them in.

A final post - and likely a fairly long one… Mackenzie’s visit was coming to a close, but we had one last epic day in us! Justine and I both took Friday off, and we were doing the double shot of outdoor fun - Squamish and Whistler! We had a morning up the Sea to Sky Gondola, followed by an afternoon/evening in Whistler as a way to round out Mackenzie’s visit and enjoy the last of the sunshine.

We had a bit of an epic day, starting on Cypress Mountain, heading over to Lynn Canyon, lunch at Lonsdale Quay, out to Lighthouse Park and then wrapping it up by meeting Justine downtown for an epic sunset happy hour!

For her 18th birthday (last July), we had offered to organize a trip for our niece Mackenzie to come to Vancouver for a week or so. We finally got the trip organized around Christmas time, and she decided she wanted to come out in February - much to our surprise. As it turned out, she picked a good week! We had snow just before she arrived and a high pressure system settled in that gave us cold temperatures and sunny skies.

The year is off to a busy start. I had originally planned to go to Pune in November, but after my knee surgery got scheduled, I had to push it into January. I was there for only a week, with a very busy agenda and a lot to cover. There was not much time for personal activities, but we did have a holiday on the Tuesday, so there is a bit to share from the hike we did.
