Ski Trip!

It's true...I've never been on a ski trip before. Grew up in Seattle right next to the Cascade Mtns. and never went up to ski. I went up for other reasons, but never skiing.

Anyway, in terms of snow this was a little disappointing; let's just say you could see the grass through the snow. Now worries, we still had plenty of fun.

On Friday, Alicia and I hopped in the car and went to the airport to pickup Kevin (old work buddy). A little confusion occurred when we realized we had different airports in mind...she thought Boston and really it was Manchester. No worries, we got it straightened out, picked up Katherine from her house, grabbed Kev and flew up to Bretton Woods.

I think we laughed the entire way (excluding our serious discussions), especially when we left a few cases of beer at the wrong condo and almost barged into another one that wasn't ours (we thought it was until we saw the child's jacket hanging in the hall). Anyway, we stole our beer back and drove to the correct condos.

The boys' condo hosted a party and we all had a blast. Oh, I should mention that we later learned that the boys condo apparently looked directly into my bedroom and the curtain was wide open when Cha Cha and I were prepping for the party...and the boys saw everything that happened. Anyway, party was a great way to relieve stress. I don't quite remember how I got home, but I think it involved cutting across a field with "deep snow."

Saturday was much more relaxing. A few made breakfast then a bunch of us parked it in the living room and watched "Love Actually." Afterwards Kev and I went for a long walk and ate lunch at the resort. Before we knew it, it was time for dinner so a bunch of us went to the resort for a decent buffet then drinks at The Cave (which really looked like a cave...interesting). Soon we left and went back to the condo. By 8pm everyone was so tired and ready for bed, which was why we stayed up until 6am.

Kevin brought out the UNO cards and taught us Speed UNO while others made Red Bull and vodka. Speed UNO led to Asshold which led to other games. Music was played, people were dancing on chairs and we only went to bed because we ran out of games.

On Sunday we got up, cleaned, then went to a restaurant that wouldn't feed us breakfast because we were 10 minutes past their breakfast curfew, so we had lunch. Eventually we got home safely.
