Presidents Day is the greatest holiday! A free day off in the middle of winter, perfect opportunity for a ski-weekend getaway. My family rendezvoused in Vail, Colorado for four sweet days of skiing. Unfortunately my sister Allie was unable to attend because of school, but Katie was able to fly in from New York City.
I had a terrible cold before we flew to Vail, and it stuck with me for most of the weekend, but I did manage to get 2 days of quality skiing in. The snow was AMAZING, at least a foot of fresh, lightweight, dry powder that completely covered my ski's.
At night we made the best of Vail's restaurant scene, eating at great locale's including Sweet Basil and Larkspur. I tried to make the best of it, even though my Sudafed cocktail did not mix too well with wine and spirits. It was great being all together again, especially since we hadn't seen Katie since she came home for Christmas. All in all it was a great, short but sweet family vacation.
