Displaced Beachbums

What a fabulous winter break!

Favorite Girl and I traveled the six-hour drive, through the Adirondacks, on Saturday and spent two wonderful days visiting with family friends and skiing. OK, FG was the skier and I hung around the lodge a lot. Why is it the hot chocolate tastes so good at ski lodges?!

We also enjoyed seeing the beautiful sights of Woodstock ~ it’s a quintessential New England town and I can only imagine how gorgeous it must be during the fall colors. We were super spoiled  by our friends who indulged our vegetarian lifestyle with fabulous meals. We did eat at the Woodstock Inn.  So yummy especially the ‘smore dessert. Lovely.

Another nice feature of the trip was their house doesn’t have cell reception, I didn’t take my laptop and we only watched a couple of Winter Olympic highlights. It was nice to be unplugged for several days.

Once I returned to Fort Drum, I worked half days for the rest of the week ~ left the office by 1:00 and love it.  I really like my job but wish it were part-time ~ it’s so nice to get home when it’s still light out and I still have energy to spend time with FG, cook and clean.  At least the days are getting longer and spring is getting closer by the day.
