It's snowing!
It's funny-- this trip was unlike other Jones trips that we have been on where you meet a bunch of people to hang out with during the week. I guess that's because everyone skis on different levels and does their own thing during the day. That being said, Eddie and I did not get ONE picture together (other than the self portrait above) this trip! HA! The last night, we had someone take our picture, but she was kinda short, and we are both looking down at her (since, apparently we are giants!), so we both have about 30 chins...and it's out of focus to boot. I deleted it. HA! No reason to keep it. :)
We had a rental car while we were there, so while Eddie was out skiing, I was able to go out exploring. It was a really neat place...and it's a good thing I'm pregnant, because I could have done some damage shopping!
It snowed A LOT while we were there. Like over 3 feet, which is a LOT to someone from NC!
Mr. Cal had the BEST time staying with his Grandma and Grandpa. I made my mom promise to send me daily pictures and she actually did it! It was so fun to talk to them and hear about their daily activities and what they were up to. Cal had such a fun time-- I honestly do not think he knew we were gone or missed us one bit! I can not tell you how great it is to be away from your baby and not be worrying about him. I missed him like crazy, of course, but it was so great knowing he was so happy with my parents. Yes, I realize how unbelievably lucky I am to have parents like mine who are willing and able to take care of a VERY busy almost 18 month old. I can not thank God enough for my parents...
Mr. Hank went to the best camp EVER. For those of you in the triangle with a pet, you have got to try this woman. She runs the "camp" at her house and the dogs all sleep inside. Hank usually ends up in her bed...! He has so much fun when he goes there and usually sleeps for a solid week after we get him. She is cheaper than any kennel we've ever been to, and he never goes into a cage! LOVE it! This woman's 3 year old niece came over to visit and she loooooves dogs. She was pretending to be a doggie doctor and was checking out Hank and another pup. After the examination, she rewarded them for being so good:
Here are some pictures from our trip, if you are bored enough to want to look!

 |
| there's eddie! I was up in the room and saw him getting into his skis. I was excited :) |
 |
| this is the resort-- I took this picture from the gondola ride up to the midway point of the mountain. The area with the fence around it is the bunny slope. I have never seen anything so cute as these little nuggets learning to ski in there! |
So, it was a great trip and I got to do a LOT of relaxing. I read a ton, played some Words With Friends (hello, addicting), and got a fabulous prenatal massage. It would have been nice to go to a tropical resort and sit by a pool all day long working on my tan, but this was something Eddie has always wanted to do...and hey, he earned it! I was happy to let him pick a trip and I was just thrilled to get to go along for the ride.
