Ski Weekend

Monday, January 19, 2009
We spent the three-day weekend skiing at Lake Placid, NY. We left early on Friday and spent Friday afternoon touring some Olympic Sites. We saw the ski jump and several people jumping. You can take an elevator up to the top and lookout. I never realized how tall the ski jump is!! It towers over the town, literally.

Saturday was very cold but we went skiing. The mountain had few people on it so lines were short. Chloe skied some greens and blues and even part of a black!! We met up with our friends and their children for dinner. Chloe had such a great time with her "Beach friends" (it is one of the families we go to the Outer Banks in July with).

Sunday Chloe was in ski school with her pals. Matt and I wanted to check on her and see how she was doing but we got a little too close and she saw us. She had a great time and told Matt that she wanted to go to ski school to learn and not from him--Ha! I guess she liked it because they stop to play. We had dinner around the fire at the hotel on Sunday evening with our friends watching the playoff games.

We had such a peaceful and relaxing weekend. Even though it was cold, the skiing was great and the hospitality was fantastic. We will definitely be returning.
