So I finally made it out to my friend Mrs. Little's annual Whistler Girls' Weekend... what a fun time! Who knew I'd still enjoy squeezing 17 women into 3 hotel rooms for a weekend of silliness in my 30's? I also finally spent some real time with my new-found half sister - I mean, more than just going for coffee, which was nice. I met her last year after searching for my birth mother and it's been very cool getting to know her; she's a fantastic girl and I really admire her.
Anyway... we got to Whistler about 4pm on Friday the 27th and proceeded to ditch the car with the valet. No need for it when you're staying a stone's throw from everything in the village. We found our rooms, settled in a little and proceeded to socialize around the penis-shaped chip plate as the ladies arrived until our dinner reservation at 7pm. Dinner was awful lol... I mean I didn't really care much, but Mrs. Little herself was mistakenly served a beef burger when she's a vegetarian. EEW... she wasn't at all impressed. The bellini's were good though.
I'm not sure if it's a function of age or something else, but I honestly have no recollection of what took place after dinner on the Friday night *shrug*.
Saturday we got up, got cleaned up, had coffee (no shortage of great coffee shops in Whistler) and went shopping. I spent some good money that I don't have on things I don't need, so all in all a successful shopping outing. After shopping we hit the pool with some refreshments in hand and got friendly with a series of sexy white loungers. The afternoon was made complete with a nap and another shower before attending the pre-bar party...
The pre-bar party began at 6pm with more refreshments, a rousing game of "pass the purple penis", party favours and "how dirty are you" style drinking games... you'd have thought someone was about to be married, but no... this was all just for fun. After the pre-bar party we went to Buffalo Bills for some more refreshments and dancing. The music was awful but we made the most of it...
Those of us no longer used to the bar-star party life left the club at a rediculously early hour and went back to one of the rooms to order pizza and have civilized converstation for the rest of the night. I spent a short but not insignificant amount of time worried about New Young Sister and whether or not she was out on the town alone or if she had a room key, but all was well... she stumbled in at 2am and the photos showed she was well and had a great time...
Sunday morning we all pulled ourselves together and with comfy clothes as the order of the day, made our way to the closest coffee shop to soak up the last of the sun (not to mention caffeine, and ginger ale for those less-fortunate) before piling into our caravan of carpool arrangements to make our way to our final stop - breakfast at White Spot in Squamish.
I arrived home around 1pm on Sunday to hugs and kisses from both Big Man and Little Man. My two greatest loves. Life is good.
Can't wait to do it again next year...
