Spring Break 2011

Kids are always only too happy to be on vacation, sleeping in, no homework...

For the week of Spring Break Tim took a week long vacation.  I don't have too much vacation time saved at work, so I only too the Thursday and Friday off.

 We decided that even though Spring is here, the skiing and snowboarding season is not done.  We booked two nights at the hotel near the slopes and spend all day Thursday and most of the Friday snowboarding.  By the time it was Saturday, there was little energy left to go again.  Instead we headed home.

Here is what Jon looked like after a long first day on the slopes and getting hit by a big whiteout:

...and here he is on the way to the hotel, that evening:

Let just say, food tasted SO much better that night, and bed was SO much more comfortable!

On Saturday morning view from our hotel window changed quite a bit, there was no snow on the ground.  Everything looked peaceful!
On the way back, we made a few stops.  One of them was at the store we passed by many times before, but always too early for it to be open, Babushka.  I was curious to see what they had.  As expected, it was just Russian food, nothing fancy, but we did buy a whole selection of foods and decided to have a Russian Food weekend!

Great times we had!
