Our little snowboarding trip was lots and lots of fun. We stayed at the Seasons at Blue at Blue Mountain and the room was just great. the resort was built to look like a little quaint village with 4-storey "houses" and little stores lining the streets. even prettier at night with all the lights on.
our room had a nice fireplace so we could dry all our wet snowy stuff and a full kitchen so we didn't have to spend 13 bucks for a bowl of Pho.
it may seem odd that the kitchen is such a big deal... but really, it is. the last thing i wanted to do was trek out in the snow after a day of falling on my ass and eat at a restaurant. instead, we just heated up pizza and sat on the couch in our jammies and watched tv. then we headed out and fell on our asses some more.
we basically only went snowboarding on thursday.. we went in the morning for a few hours and had to stop. cuz 1) i had forgotten how to do this and was falling way too much 2) it was snowing really hard, and the snow machines were spitting out tiny pieces of ice, so there was zero visibility. the ice on my toque isn't from falling, it's from the ice and snow whipping at my face.
anyway, we gave up, went back to our room for lunch.. then went back out armed with goggles. it was soooo much better. apparently sight is important for sliding down a mountain on a waxed piece of wood. the trail became more scenic as the sun went down, the blue/white glow of the snow and the falling snow made for some nice kodak moments. hahah.
one last pic on the way back to our room after a day of fun.
oh.. and this one.. you know how newborns can't sit up by themselves so they kinda just settle in a lump when you put them against a couch? chairs made of ice do the same to people with snowpants on.
and happy 1 year-ish anniversary, hunny. it's been a sweet and fun and ridiculously great year w/ you.
time for: hmm.. unpacking... ps2.. or laundry.. hmm...
