Whistler Mountain Views
📅 March 13 – 17

WHISTLER MOUNTAIN RETREAT

Taluswood Ridge, Whistler Resort, BC, Canada

A luxury ski-in/ski-out townhome with mountain views so aggressive they should be illegal. Cedar beams. Jetted bathtub. A gas fireplace that will make you emotional.

Cozy interior Welcome! Mountain views
🧖
SPA DAY. Already booked by Alina. Could still get you in to be pampered.
⛷️
Don't feel like skiing? NO PROMBLEMO. Village shopping, restaurants, fireplace time, or just… napping with mountains outside your window.
🏔️
Ski-in / Ski-out if you DO want to hit the slopes. It's literally right there.
🍳
Full kitchen, BBQ, washer/dryer. This place has a home office with dual monitors. That's how you know we fancy.
🏔️ Fireplace + hot tub + us catching up = perfect 🏔️

Vancouver WA Nature
📅 March 20 – 22

VANCOUVER, WA WEEKEND

The PNW's Most Underrated City™ • with Sam & Randy

It's like Portland's cooler, chiller, less-trying-too-hard sibling across the river. Historic forts! Waterfalls! A pinball arcade! Ice cream so good you'll forget your problems exist!

🏛️
Fort Vancouver. A full 19th-century fur trade fort. Is it random? Yes. Is it weirdly fascinating? ALSO YES.
🌊
Waterfalls galore. Lucia Falls, Moulton Falls, Yacolt Falls — nature is showing off and we're here for it.
🍦
Salt & Straw. Weird ice cream flavors that have no business being as delicious as they are.
🕹️
Silverball Social Club — a pinball bar. Say it three times and you're legally required to go.
🎨
Murals, breweries, kayaking, farmers market — this town does NOT quit.
🕹️ Sam & Randy are in (he lives there) — now we just need Kelly! 🕹️

Grand Finale
Arizona Red Rocks
📅 ~March 31 (TBD)

ARIZONA SUNSHINE ESCAPE

Sun City Festival, near Phoenix • a.k.a. Golf Cart Paradise

Escape the PNW rain for actual literal sunshine. Desert vibes, cacti doing their thing, and absolutely zero agenda. Warm weather guaranteed.

Sun City home Desert adventures Desert botanical garden
✈️
Companion fare needs using before it expires — you'd literally be doing me a favor by coming.
🏠
Parents' place. Retirement community with pickleball courts and golf carts everywhere. It's aspirational living, honestly.
☀️
The Arizona agenda: be lazy when we feel like. eat food around phoenix. go shopping. maybe see a cactus. nap under the ceiling fans. repeat.
⚾
Spring training baseball nearby — catch a game in the sun with a cold drink if the mood strikes.
Desert cacti Butterfly Desert quail Night game Pickleball
☀️ Sunshine + zero agenda + us = exactly what March needs ☀️

YOUR MOVE, BESTIE

Pick one. Pick all four. Pick none and just know someone is thinking about you and wants you around.

No pressure. No expectations. Just good times on the table whenever you want them.
