miss the mountains

Living in NY has its perks, but sometimes I feel like we are trapped by the big city. Winters can be long, especially when there aren't any mountains to play with. We have ventured to a handful of east cost resorts since living here. They are ok, but nothing compares to the mountains out WEST. A couple weeks ago we took our annual ski trip to the great state of Utah, we also added a bonus weekend in Seattle. Great fam, great friends, great snow, great cafe rio...

Stevens Pass

riding with Kollin for the first time in years, we actually got caught ducking under the ropes and had a run-in with the "park guards", they put Kollin in time out, it made the day memorable

Seattle-Bainbridge ferry ride, kyle got a job working for the Bainbridge fire dept., CONGRATS KYLE!

FAM

we always know we can count on a comfy bed, delicious homecooked meals, and a competitive game of rummikub - oh yeah and claires, we can always count on claires :)
