Home in the mountains

Posted on by

Yesterday we left for a long awaited vacation and I can’t tell you how incredibly ready I was to get out of town. The last few weeks have been a bit difficult especially given our recent family stint with the stomach flu. Spring has not even attempted to visit and the weather has been unseasonably cold. All in all, my spirits were sinking and it was time to leave.

I can hardly wait to hit the mountains! Stay tuned…

      Thanks Elena! We leave this afternoon and I would definitely come back. It is amazing here. So beautiful and the skiing is great for kids. We’ve had wonderful family time together here.

      I love Colorado too! What is nice about Montana is it is so less developed and so quiet. A wonderful wonderful place! Last morning here and then we head home dreaming about when we can ski again.

      Lucy, I feel like a new person. This trip has been so incredibly wonderful. It is so utterly beautiful here and not very developed. very peaceful yet at the same time I was able to really test my body and feel like I did some of the best skiing I’ve ever done in my life. Not bad for 41! 🙂 I also didn’t break anything!
      We are going home this afternoon. I’m sad but ready. What a wonderful family vacation. Wonderful memories.
      Believe it or not, but I leave in 9 days to France. This is quite a month for me!!! 🙂 But I’m diving right on it.

        Nicole, I can see from your FB photos how much you’ve loved it! It looks beautiful!!! Good for the heart and soul!!! I’m glad you’re feeling re-energized! You’re so lucky to have your lovely family to holiday with. Sometimes traveling alone is hard. It’s good to share experiences.
        I know going back to France with your mom and sister will be unforgettable! Enjoy and I look forward to seeing your photos and reading your blog posts after! 🙂

        I feel so much better now. I really needed that trip. It was a rough winter with all our illnesses. Spring is on the horizon here. I am sure I’ll get back from France and it will be bursting with greenery and flowers here. I can hardly wait!

      Big Sky was amazing. It is so incredibly beautiful and pristine here. So undeveloped compared to Colorado. I would come back in a heartbeat! 🙂
