Coming from the south we have 2 seasons: hot and not as hot. When people up here say that winter last until April/May, my response is, "but spring break starts in March!" Living up north has exposed us to a totally different climate and we are learning to brave the elements.

Last weekend we explored a state we had never been to before... Vermont. Gorgeous Vermont! Living in NYC, we are trying to take advantage of the this part of the country, so when a family friend offered us their place at Mt. Snow, we couldn't turn it down! We loaded up an extended cab suburban with ski gear, food, and 4 of our closest friends and headed to the mountains.

Having never been to Vermont before, I didn't know what to expect. Well, any expectations I did have were completely surpassed. It was breathtakingly beautiful and we had a BLAST! Here are some pictures from our weekend on the slopes! We went out to dinner one night at a charming inn, the Hermitage Club. It is a club on the mountain and if you are a member, you have a private mountain for skiing... Unfortunately, we didn't make the cut for the members-only perks, but the food was delicious! This past weekend, we had one of the largest blizzards in history hit NYC. I have never seen anything like it. Stoops, cars, windows completely out of site due to the amount of snow. I walked down Broadway... one of the busiest streets in the city, totally abandoned and covered in white. I had to work during the day, but we took the pups to Central Park when I got home and let them run free in the snow! They loved it. And it was beautiful! since we just got back from skiing and had all of our ski gear out, we decided to wear our goggles out in the blizzard and it was life changing!! And of course Ralph and Calvin had on their snow boots and winter coats too! I hope everyone had a wonderful {and warm} weekend! Cheers!
