Mr. Starfish and I just returned from six days in Whistler, Canada and oh. my. goodness. was it beautiful and perfect. I put several pictures on Facebook and Instagram so some of you may have seen them. Beautiful. Switzerland and Germany have always been my "most beautiful places" visited but this comes close!
We spent some time hanging out in Olympic Plaza where the medals were awarded during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.
There are lots of black bears living in Whistler and I really wanted to see some so we went out one evening with a naturalist and bear researcher and I was so excited to see five black bears. A few of them close up!
This is Alice who is about 16 years old:
And this is Ellie who is about 22 years old:
It was a wonderful 10th anniversary trip but we were so thrilled to return home to our two boys. They are pretty awesome.
I didn't do much knitting while I was away but I did start striping on Color Affection so I'll post a progress pic of that:
How has everyone been out there in Blogland?

Oh, poor Ellie. She's having a bad hair day!
I guess at 22, she's a pretty old lady.
