Celebrating Dan's 50th

Our friend Dan turned 50 on Oct. 27th, so it only seemed appropriate to celebrate - a couple times :-) (don't you love his "new" hair?)

 

The night of his birthday we went for dinner at U MI, the old Loft restaurant.

 

 Then, this past weekend we headed up to Whistler to stay at Jeff & Kathi's condo for a few days to properly celebrate!  We did a whole lot of nothing!  Relaxing, visiting, eating, reading books, hot tubbing, long walks, etc A perfectly wonderful way to celebrate getting old!! :-)

 Long walk around Lost Lake

 Divinely executed dinners (we have our own private chefs!!)

We gave Dan a chefs jacket, hat and his own personal spice blend!!

 We got him a cookbook for his Big Green Egg -someday I'm going to get one of these - the cooker that is!

 An afternoon stroll down to the village

 A pic with my main squeeze!

 They had a food festival going on called "Cornucopia" so we went down and sampled some food and listened to some good jazz.

They had a Whistler's Iron Chef competition we went to watch.

 

And of course, one can never get enough naps in!

Thanks to Jeff and Kathi for letting us crash at their divinely appointed condo - what a treat! And thanks to Dan, for getting old so we could celebrate!!
