Mammoth Part 2

After dropping off our luggage we headed out to play in the snow and take some photos. I was really hoping I'd get something cute that might potentially work for 2011 Christmas cards. We didn't give any in 2010 but I really want to get in the habit of making it a yearly thing.
Here is a contender for Xmas 2011

Snowball Fight!

When you step into the snow you kinda "sink." While "sinking" I hit the tree with my elbow. Ouch

Saturday we attempted to ski and snowboard. This is us before we headed out. We were not very succesful btw. It is HARD and you are left tired and sore. I really plan on taking my kids when they are little so they can start taking lessons early. We were getting passed up by fast 5 year olds who looked like they were born on two skiis.

Saturday night we played Taboo, spoons, and Kent. It was tons of fun. The next morning it was time to go. We woke up and it was snowing! It was a wonderful way to end the weekend. The streets were covered. It was gorgeous.

Bye Mammoth! We cannot wait to return!

Mammoth-The Summit

Mammoth was wonderful. It was a very relaxing vacation. We left and spent the night in Palmdale where we hung out with a friend. Then we headed out to Mammoth. On our way there we stopped at the famous Erick Schat's Bakery in Bishop. That place is amazing. I had the yummiest Veggie Sandwich but they have everything: fresh bread, jams, gelato, pot pie, soups cookies, truffles and pretty much every dessert you can think of. If you are ever in the area I highly recommend it. They also have some items you can order via mail. We got to Mammoth and all of a sudden there is snow everywhere. It was such a cool experience. The first night we got in late so we explored the town and checked out our place. We stayed at The Summit, which was a lot nicer than we expected. It was a condo instead of a cabin but once you were inside it totally felt warm and cozy so we were all pleased. It also had a hot tub and gym within walking distance. Here are some pictures of our cozy home for the weekend.Our family room. It also had a formal living room area.
My friend Santa on our balcony. We had a beautiful view.
The kitchen and dining area. It came fully stocked with everything you can imagine. It was great for cooking.
Our cabiny chandelier
The place came with brand new board games! so cool!The fireplace and lots of our luggage

My favorite part..a washer/dryer in the restroom. We stayed in a place that had two bedrooms plus a loft and 3 restrooms. It slept 10 very comfortably.

Let It Snow!

Tomorrow we are heading out on a mini-vacation. First we are heading to Palmdale to visit one of our friends. I have never been to Palmdale and I don't think there is too much there but we are excited to see our friend because we rarely get to see him. Then we are heading to MAMMOTH! I am so excited for this. I have only seen and touched snow once when I was very little and the Mr. has never touched or seen snow. I am so excited to see him see snow for the first time. I will be taking lots of pictures to document his first snow trip. We are going with a few other couples and friends so it should be lots of fun. I am hoping we LOVE it and begin to visit more frequently.

Any advice for those who have more experience with snow? What should we pack?

Welcome To Miami

Mr. DJ is in Miami this whole week, so that makes for a really sad bride-to-be. He is attending music conferences and the Latin Billboard Music Awards. It is a great opportunity for him to make connections and get access to new music. I am so proud of him and all his accomplishments and hard work. But in the end I still miss him. I will be counting down the hours until he comes home Friday. I am so excited for our date night upon his return =) Cannot wait.
