We spent last week on Mt Washington. It was our first family vacation ever. We have done a few two day trips here and there, but never a real, week off school/work getaway.
It was magical. It was exhausting. Five days of skiing is an endurance test. A fun, fantastical test of muscle and your bodies ability to stay warm.
The best part is all the time spent on chairlifts. Half the day is spent sitting side by side, chatting, laughing and bonding. I spent more time talking with each of my kids than i have in ages and they, in turn, talked with each other. Being on a lift behind tristan and toby i watched them chat and giggle and be silly together. There was no fighting, just being together, being family.
It was amazing. I am so thankful to my employers for making it possible for us to go on that adventure.

That’s awesome!! :)
Hi,
Your vacation sounds wonderful. You are blessed. Our winter snow fall has been so mild with only about 6 or 7 inches of recorded snow from November, 2011 until today. The only way our ski results up north are open is because the temperature is low enough that they can make snow. I am not sure how I ended up on your blog. It is very interesting to read. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures.
Take care
