1. Great friends.
2. Another two-year-old for Lilah to play with. (Bonus points if he's this cute.)
3. Beautiful, rugged surroundings. (Further bonus points for a destination that has hosted the winter Olympics.)
4. A light dusting of snow.
5. Lots of delicious eats.
6. A handful of toys and unlimited doses of two-year-old imagination.
7. An iPhone to keep the kids busy when the toys lose their lustre.
8. The novelty of new toilets, which can lead to higher than average rates of potty use.
9. Bedtime stories and snuggles as usual.
10. Hot-tubbin'. 'Nuff said.
Hee hee. That listacle pretty much had your name on it! Good for you for going away. We were super lame this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love that we both had weekend get aways to write about. I also love that your comment on Stasha's blog was that you are more of a home body and less of a traveller. That is so me too. People always think I am a bit crazy because I don't love to travel. Glad I found a kindred spirit.
ReplyDeleteFirsts snow! So exciting. Will be skiing in no time. I like my vacation in an hour drive parameter too :)
ReplyDeleteoh, hot tub.
ReplyDelete- I so look forward to my little one in her two's

Great recipe for a perfect vacation! You do take some awesome pictures! :)
ReplyDeleteThat vacation looks fabulous! Your "rugged" vacation spot is beautiful! Usually I prefer warm sandy beaches, but the winter snow looks quite appealing :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pics as always!
Looks like a wonderful mini-vacation - I love your pictures.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I laughed at #8. What we count as success is so different now than it used to be, isn't it?? : )
ReplyDeletewonderful pictures! love the hot tub! every time we go to a hotel, I try to steal a few moments in one....but they always find me. It's so funny seeing them try to brave the hot water just to be with mommy.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like an amazing vacation! Although, I'm hoping that the first snow stays away for a little while around here.
ReplyDeleteHave yet to get to Whistler, can you believe it? Beautiful photos! Looks like you had a fabulous time!
