Winter Break




Mitchell and Amelia had this past Friday and today (Monday) out of school for their winter break so we did the responsible parent thing and took them out of school for an extra day (Thursday) and went on a short vacation! We first drove up to West Virginia to the Resort at Glade Springs which is a great resort near Winterplace ski slopes. We checked in and spent the rest of the day just playing at the resort... we went bowling, played basketball, arcade games, went swimming and enjoyed the hot tub, and Amelia and I even enjoyed the steam room! After dinner we got to bed early to prepare for the next day. We spent ALL DAY Friday on the ski slopes at Winterplace. It was sunny and got up to 50 degrees which made it really great skiing weather! All 28 slopes were open and in great condition, so we all had a blast skiing together! Mitchell and Amelia get better every year! After skiing we drove 2 hours to Winston Salem, NC and spent the night there. We spent all day Saturday with Dave's parents celebrating Valentine's Day. We treated Ann to a take out lunch from a deli... she wanted chili dogs for lunch (something she doesn't get that often)! It was a fairly short trip but you can see from the pictures that we all had a blast together! We are already looking forward to future ski vacations!
