chillen with the family on both coasts

It is 7:18pm on a sleet filled Tuesday here in Rhode Island. I just got out of the jacuzzi which felt really nice in the rain with a beer in hand and snow on the ground. I spent all day editing down our newest blog video and finishing a book I’d been reading (the return of Merlin-Deepak Chopra) Dinner is almost ready and I’m just taking a moment to relax and breathe this all in. We leave in five days and I’m exhausted and feel like we just got here.  We flew into Boston at 6:00pm a week ago and Danielle’s mom picked us up and drove the two hours down to Rhode Island only to pack snow clothes, have a beer some crackers, get back in the car and drive four hours back north to New Hampshire for our ski trip. It wasn’t supposed to be that way, but a big storm was coming in later that night and Danielle’s Mom didn’t want to have to drive through a blizzard all the way up to New Hampshire the next day so we just charged.
             We got to our place at about 1:30am just as the snow was starting to fall. The storm blew all the next day too and we just holed up and rested, ate good food, soaked in the jacuzzi, and prepared for the following day. The storm brought over a foot of new snow so the conditions were really good on the following day. The sun came out and it was beautiful!!! Thus began a four day skiing/snowboarding adventure at four different mountains. Photos and video do better justice than words so I will show you what it was like. We drove home after our fourth day on the slopes and promptly passed out. Yesterday was spent recovering.  Today rained sleet all day and we didn’t even leave the house. I have no idea what tomorrow is going to bring. There is supposed to be waves, but they come with wind so we will have to see if we can get ourselves motivated enough to do it. We shall see…
