The Whistler Weekend

November 19th, 2006

As one may have read in The Wolfe-Conradi Cabin, there are few things I enjoy on a long weekend than venturing off to some random location with two of my favourite people, Sunny & Camille. Well this past long weekend was no different plus I got to bring along Atlantis.

As per usual, the weekend’s festivities included abundant quantities of food, drink, laughs, and couch time.

Camille & Sunny
Camille and Sunny are two wonderful people who embody Aristotle’s sentiment “Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.”

Camille & Sunny
Of course, this is their reaction after expressing such sentiment.

As you also read in The Wolfe-Conradi Cabin, Sunny is a Port collector and we had a beautiful bottle at the cabin. Sadly, we were in mourning over the loss of Sunny’s collection and disasterous circumstances left him with only one bottle left. Ever the trooper, he was out the next day picking up a new bottle to rebuild the fallen army.

Camille inspects carefully as Sunny pours the last hero.

Jeff & Atlantis
Empty bottle of port off frame, vacant cheese board in the foreground, and a nice French wine in the glasses - you’d smile too.

Now prying Sunny away from any form of work for a weekend is a feat of nature belonging to the same category as planetary alignments and the reversing of the poles. However, when you do get him away - one never knows what is going to happen. Walking trough the village, we lost Sunny only to backtrack and find him in the outdoor adventure office.

“Anyone want to go snowmobiling? It’s the first day of the season.”

Sweet.

I don’t have any pictures of the experience as it was just too much damn fun to be encumbered by a camera. It looked something like this though:

Snowmobile jump

Amidst eating, drinking, and sleeping there were several walks with tonnes of snow.

While Camille may seem sweet at first.

Sunny and Camille Fight
Don’t get on her badside. See here as she takes on this former thai boxing champion.

Why are there so few long weekends in the year?
