Ski time for the parents!

Garrett was awesome and surprised me with a getaway to Big Bear, just the two of us!  He found this hotel, Northwoods, right in the village for inexpensive.  It was beautiful! We went up on a Tuesday, settled in at the hotel, picked up our gear, and then just shopped around the village and had dinner at a new Mexican restaurant.  We had a night cap at our hotel bar and just enjoyed being together.  Seems so rare we get time to talk these days, typical complaint of a parent I guess.

Early the next morning, after a delicious bagel and coffee, we hit the slopes!  And as you can see from this photo, barely anyone was there which was awesome!  It had just snowed a few days before so the conditions were awesome and we had an amazing day.

Crazies!
 
I was a skier, I've decided skiing is for me and I'll never go back to boarding.  And Garrett had a great day on the board, really feeling the turns and getting more comfortable on the board.  Great day!


And there's nothing better than beers and garlic fries with a snickers to fuel you half way through the day.  A big thanks to Garrett for making this happen and getting us out there.  Love him!
