We spent this past week skiing in Vail, Colorado. Vail has a special meaning to me because my family took annual ski trips here since I was 12 years old. I have wonderful memories from those ski vacations. Dave was our ski instructor every year. We used to end the ski day at a bar at the bottom of the…
We spent our third week of skiing in Beaver Creek. It is hard to compare Keystone, Breckenridge, and Beaver Creek. Keystone seems more family-oriented. It is just the ski-slopes, not tons of shops, restaurants, and bars right around the slopes We were just getting our ski legs when we were there, so we didn’t explore as much of the mountain…
We spent the week skiing in Breckenridge and we loved it. We all got our ski legs under us. By the end of the week, we were all skiing blues and blacks. The crowds were not bad. The weather was perfect. Henry still pizzas straight down the mountain, but one day he will start turning. Our place in Breckenridge was…
We spent the week in Dillon, CO in a Best Western. We were in a standard hotel room with two double beds. Lucas and Henry had school. Michael and I had to work. It was challenging when we had conference calls, or I had to get up at 6 a.m. for a meeting that started at 8 a.m. eastern time.…
We are on the move again. Twenty-five hours, 10 states, and over 1500 miles of driving to get out to Colorado Springs. It has been a long three days, but our travels were smooth. We had great weather and no traffic. The boys had school Thursday and Friday and they were able to do it in the car using our…
We are winding up our time in North Carolina. The past six months have been a lot of things: Emotional, stable, relaxing, stressful, busy, and fun. Getting to spend so much time with my dad and a lot of my family was great. It was sad because we lost Lois. It was nice to be in one place for a…
This time last year we were traveling across Costa Rica at the start of our travel journey in Central America. How are things a year later? The kids’ hair is a lot longer. We like letting Lucas and Henry explore their own style. Many people do not like their long hair, but if they like it, we support them. Self-expression…
Michael and I were talking last night about our next move. We have been in Winston-Salem for almost six months. I love being back at home. Michael is getting restless. While we were talking about our plans, I started to get agitated, even a little angry, and I was not sure why. As I lay in bed trying to go to…
Our week in Atlanta was productive. We had a long to-do list and we got it all done. We spent time with Judy’s sister. We got to walk Josie and Dexter. We got to see Grandma Miriam!!! We will be back in Atlanta and maybe next time we will get to see all of our friends and eat at our…
We have not ventured more than an hour from where we are staying since September. We are staying with Judy’s dad, who is 71 years old, so we are extremely cautious about going places. This week we took our first road trip back to Atlanta. It is a 5-hour drive, so it was easy. It is a different experience worrying…
