This will be our first Christmas in Squamish with our family and we are also looking forward to using the new kitchen so we can make a nice Christmas Eve dinner. It would be great if the snow fell so that Santa could have a smooth landing on our roof.

Speaking of which, yesterday it lightly dusted with snow. It was so beautiful, but not yet a winter wonderland. We are actually expecting about 10 centimeters, which is super exciting!

There are some real lovely walks around our area that make the location of the Squamish Retreat perfect for people who love the outdoors. If you like being outside on a sunny, rainy or a snowy afternoon, then Squamish is a perfect place for you!

For us to yours, have a safe and wonderful holiday season and all the best in the New Year!

Chris and I went away to Hawaii for 9 glorious days, it was heaven!

We needed a break from everyday life and to re-charge our batteries. We have been going non stop with the reno for a few months now and a break was a perfect way to relax and enjoy life.

It makes me really excited for our visitors to actually take time out of thier lives to explore our community of Squamish and beyond like Whistler, Pemberton as well as Vancouver.

We are happy we are filling the need to explore especially during the 2010 Olympics.

Everyone needs a holiday and our place is perfect for that!
