Skiing

Well this weekend was the big ski weekend, except for one thing, we didn't get to ski.
Saturday afternoon we headed toward Big Boulder for our day of snowy fun. We started out snowtubing. It was fun, except it's been so warm out that there wasn't enough snow to really make it as fast as it should be. After tubing I was going to ski, Norbert was going to snowboard and Frankie and Cristina were going to most likely hang out at the hotel and nap. But the rain started coming down and just would not stop. We thought it would have been snow once we got on top of the mountain, but it was way too warm.
Since the rain would not stop and kept coming down harder, we decided to go shopping. And it was so worth it. Cristina bought her first Coach bag! It's a very important moment in a girl's life and was happy to be there. I also bought a bag, but a very practical one (sorry, I put myself on a budget so I need to convince myself it was a necessity). I bought a lovely travel bag since I will be going on many trips this year for work. It's very pretty and I swear I will use it every time I go away (once again, must convince myself).
Saturday night we brought some beers down to the indoor pool and hung out in there for a while. After that we headed up to the room, ordered some food in, played some poker and taboo and finished off what beer was left in the cooler. We were all pretty much fried by midnight. Man we're getting old.
So, to sum things up...Was I disappointed about not skiing? Yes, but it was impossible with the weather. Was I disappointed in the trip? Hell no! It was actually a relaxing vacation for once and I totally enjoyed it. Good friends, good food, good drinks and lots and lots of laughs. I give this weekend two thumbs up.
Here's some pics of the fun! FYI, I had my scarf, gloves and hat stuffed in my jacket pocket, so that's why I look so puffy :-)
