Day 3 - Sunday Sept 18, 2016

This morning I woke to sounds in the kitchen as J was preparing her morning coffee that she can't go without. I got up at 6 to pack and have a shower. By 7 I was ready and loaded the car. We left at 7:05 and got to the ferry to get the 8 instead of the planned 9. While on he ferry we headed up to the cafeteria to grab some breakfast. I always find the food to be sub par and this time it was too. We got a good spot to sit by the window and watched the sun rise over the gulf islands. The sun was so intense the J had to move many times during the voyage to avoid being blinded by the sun. 

When we arrived in Tswassen we headed towards North Vancouver. We are attending the open house of Seaspan where J's daughter N works. At 11:30 we picked up N and headed to Starbucks for a drink before the open house. 

At Seaspan we had to stand in a line for a while before we got to go in. Once in N showed us sections of tug boat that she had worked on. She also described some of the jobs people did to build the ship. We toured on a tug boat that was docked adjacent to where they were building the new one. 

At around 4 we dropped N off and headed to Whistler. It's about a 1.5 hour drive on a fairly curvey road. The scenery along the sea to sky highway is beautiful. Mountains and ocean views are the best. 

We got to the condo and entered the underground parking easily using the code provided by the owner in an email. We went to the unit and punched the code into to the touch pad to find out that it didn't work. I got on he phone to the owner and she provided us with a new one. 

Once inside we found that the housekeepers thing we're still in the unit by the door. The owner thought that we were checking in the next day. She she to go have dinner on her so we went out while the condo housekeeper finished up. 

We drove down to the village and had diner at Mongolie Grill. At the restaurant you pick your veg and meat and sauce and the cooks cook it for you. Mine was good but J said hers was a little boring. The sauce she had picked wasn't so good. 

After that we went to shoppers drug mart to get snacks because we didn't bring too much food with us from Victoria. Then we went back to the condo watched tv and slept.
