Omg!! Matt and his family too!! Most of my neighbors are going on vacations this spring. Spring-break fever. Ski getaways, and snowboarding is the buzzword in my locality. I've been hunting high and low. The kids are pestering for snowboarding. But my budget won't let me go anywhere. I'm just back from a familymoon; you know what I mean!.
Alice wanted to see the Rio Carnival. We'd been saving almost for seven months, until we had enough $$$ for airfares to Rio de Janeiro. I thought I'd join Steve's family at New Hampshire after we're back from the carnival. But it's not meant to be this time. I have to wait another year until I can take Sharon and Tim for snowboarding in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire.
Steve is my school time friend and the kids get really well along with his daughters. I know it'd have been fun. Even Matt and Jim took off to Waterville. But...
We have known Waterville as Mount Tecumseh family resort, long before it became fashionable. It's a low-key affair, but kid and teen-friendly programs go on year round. You know, it has three very impressive family features: a shuttle bus that runs between lodges, lifts and condos; a covered, hockey-size skating rink; and a massive fitness center with indoor pool. What else do we want??
Recently, it kicked off the snowboard program at Snow Mountain. It's the first snowboarders-only area in the East. There are rails, tabletops and quarter-pipes and half-pipes all the way. Next time, kids! I promise.
