fun fun getaway ...

Yesterday we headed up to Mt Washington to play in the snow. It is the largest ski area on the island, about 3 hours north of here. We started off the day with a lesson in classic cross country skiing ... after a couple hours out we headed back to the lodge for a delicious salmon burger. We stayed right on the mountain so after lunch we went to the room for an afternoon nap (- ;

We awoke and headed to happy hour on the slopes!! from 5-6 you can inner tube all you want for $6.50 - woo hoo! it was snowing pretty good most of the evening, below is Page as we are getting ready to take the lift up to the top.


We went up and down 5-6 times ... every time was just as exhilarating as the first. Probably reaching speeds upwards of 40mph! We even videotaped our last run - sadly the blog doesn't accept movies, if you want a copy of our 30 second run - shoot an email to me. (=



Anyhoo ... we headed in after 6 for dinner in our room (we brought from home =) and watched a movie. We were up today -- ready for more fun in the snow.We headed out to snowshoe, the first time for both of us. It was very quiet on the mountain. Most of the time we were the only two around.

Now that sounds like a blast! That is where we need to go winter next year! I'm really out of shape though, would the snow shoeing kill me?? What a great picture of Page with the snow coming down all around.

Why is it on the top picture I was able to click and enlarge but on the second two I couldn't? Also, I am in candle ordering mode... what is Page's brother's site? And what was the name of the one that I loved in your bathroom??
