Vacation Here I Come!



This vacation was long over due and highly anticipated!  My husband planned this whole trip all on his own for us.  It was a Real getaway and our Chubby Baby stayed home with her Grandparents, who spoiled her rotten! We both have been working so hard that we haven't had too much time for ourselves and skiing used to be one of the things we loved to do together.  So we went to Mammoth for 4 days.  It was a beautiful weekend, perfect skiing conditions, not over crowded and did I mention that I haven't skiing in almost 3 years. (Yikes! I can't believe it's been that long)  So, I felt like my skies were extra slippery and it took me a little bit longer than usual to get "warmed up." We stayed in the Village, which was a first for us.  I loved it there because it was new and different yet still the same, it's hard to explain exactly. But you could take the Gondola straight from our condo to the slopes, it was so easy.  We didn't have to drive and look for parking, carry all of our equipment and then find a locker and put it all on.

We had SO much fun and I felt like it brought back my sense of adventure, I felt young again skiing at high speeds down the slopes, wind in my face, ohhhhhhh, I miss skiing!!! Why on earth did I not miss this?  I'm just happy I found skiing again and I can't wait to teach my Chubby Baby how to ski!

On the last day we decided to go sledding, know I've gone sledding but never at a sledding park.  They have a little tube lift to carry you to the top of the hill, then you get in your tube and sled down the hill.  It was so much fun!!

Here are some photos of our weekend getaway!
