good times
The last few days were good. We went up for a late-season x-c skiing trip on wednesday. We got these cute little "toddler snowflake skis" for the kids and I still have my old skis (which, after talking to my parents I learned thwe I got them when I was 12 ... damn, didn't realize I'd had them so long!) after fixing my broken boot from the last trip (Gorilla Glue gets my seal of approval.) It was a cool little cabin, and we could ski and sled just out the back door. Definitely encouraging us to plan for more serious trips next winter.
Then on friday, after spending the morning skiing and sledding we headed home, making it in 3 hours flat with virtually no traffic. And at home the weather was a gorgeous 75+ degrees! If we'd had the sprinkler on, then kids would have been running around in it.
Saturday I got to play board and card games (Kung-Fu Fighting, Robo Rally, Chez Geek, maybe there was something else in there) with the guys, and sunday we went to a little wine tasting picnic. I need more 4-day weekends as relaxing as this past one! The whole thing with being home and not having to be anywhere is soooo nice... it almost makes me want to work harder so I can retire sooner. (Almost.)
Ah well, nothing lasts forever and today its back to the old grind...
