Mountain Escape

For the second year in a row, we went to our new favorite mountain cabin for President's Day Weekend. The weather was cold but clear, and we had a great time!

We played poker, lounged in the hot tub, explored the nearby waterfall and stream, made s'mores, played Uno, read books, played foozball and air hockey, and otherwise just lounged around together and relaxed. Amber ran around, free as a bird, and slept in the sunbeams all weekend. MJ didn't even work! 


It was so chilly outside that it never got above freezing, even during the day, so we stayed inside. We never left our home away from home, except for a quick trip to the grocery store that first morning to get all the obligatory junk food for the weekend.

There's a wood-burning stove in the family room, so we made our fires there every day, and the crackling of the fire burning was the soundtrack to the weekend. We even made our s'mores right there in the family room!

The final night, we were treated to a gorgeous sunset. The colors stretched 360 degrees all around the horizon! It was the perfect punctuation point on our weekend.
