Beautiful Yukon

We went up to "the Yukon" last month for a one-day getaway to go grocery shopping, etc. Whitehorse (about 2 hours away) has a Walmart, The Real Canadian Superstore (the best!) and a great indoor swimming pool with a slide.

The drive up was fantastic...we lucked out with such great weather!



P.S. Yukoners do not like it when you call it "The Yukon." They would say, "I live in Yukon"...not "THE Yukon." Think about it...would you say "I went to THE British Columbia"? Nope. So, they have a point. But my opinion is that BC is a province, and THE Yukon is only a Canadian Territory...so it's THE YUKON in my book.

(WOW! I'm on a roll!! I just keep posting!! I finally realized if I do short and sweet posts...then it is not as overwhelming!)

  1. I finally caught up on your blog last night and this morning. I love how you leave Ella behind the desk, but better yet I love that she doesn't answer. How classic is that! Amazing pictures of THE Yukon, but the pictures of the store and Ella's pictures aren't showing up? Can you fix them? Need to call Greg for tech support? :)
