Getaway to Vermont

Tuesday, February 26, 2008

On Sunday, Harcourt and Ike headed up to Manchester, VT for a little getaway and we had a fun, fun time! Maggie took care of Ike and the Podunk animals and because she is so great we just waved goodbye and knew they were going to have more fun without us :-)

We had been away from Ike for 1 night last Fall but we decided it was time to make the effort to getaway for a few days this Winter. I found a great online deal at the Equinox Inn & Spa. On Monday, we went skiing at Bromley (aka "The Sun Mountain") and it was blue skies and mid 30's! We had a ball!! There was no one on the mountain and we could almost ski from the top to the bottom without passing another person... and all for only $25 per person- what a deal! The slopes were nicely groomed and we found this one super wide trail that we were able to "let it rip" and make some crazy super G turns all the way down. We remembered how fun it is be together enjoying the great outdoors!!
Other than skiing, we did some walking and shopping through town and ate some yummy food. We also enjoyed the outdoor hot tub that was part of the hotel spa and even Harcourt sported the white robe in the spa- wish I could have had my camera for that!!!! All in all, it was a huge treat for us and we are so glad we went.
