"What beautiful blossoms we have this year. But look, this one's late. I bet when it blooms, it will be the most beautiful of all..."

Sun Peaks is beautiful! The scenary up on the mountains was absolutely spectacular. As for the trip itself, it was interesting and didn't go exactly as planned but hey, it's an experience to look back and laugh. First night we left Richmond at around 5pm and got there at midnight (we made so many stops to Tim Hortons and to shop for groceries). The ride up was also scary and dangerous. Snowing/raining/hailing or whatever it was! Some cars were flipped upside down on the side and another car went into a ditch!

But once we got there we tried using the code to enter the condo but guess what? It didn't work and we called the property manager and no one picked up. Luckily there was a nice lady next door that let us in and tried to help but there wasn't much she could do. She offered to let us stay at her condo but it was nice enough she already let us in! So we all had to sleep in the cars. Worst sleep i've ever had! Haha. Anyway we got the code in the morning and got refunded for the night and got free pizza. Then we had breakfast and hit the slopes. Soooo exhausting!

SUPER SORE THE NEXT DAY! My whole body is aching but I got up to go snowboarding anyway. I was getting sort of cranky cuz i'm so terrible at snowboarding haha but i'll get better as I practice more. Then we went into the hot tub again (outdoors!) Then we went to the pub and I can't remember what it was called. Drank a bit, played the hockey machine on alex's team and owned everyone else! Went back to our condo around 1:30am (or was it 2am?) And made some Kraft Dinner and finally went to bed around 3am.

Our last day here Alex and I didn't go snowboarding while everyone else did. We explored "The Village" and ate there and looked around at their shops. There wasn't too much to do in this area. Alex and I had some alone time in the hot tub and it was awesome! We totally pigged out on chips :P and enjoyed each other's company. Soon after we all had to pack and go home. Trip home wasn't as scary but it was extremely foggy until we got off the Coquahala?? But anyway, HOME AT LAST!!!!
