| Our Hotel room - much better than usual! |
Nora and I just got back from our annual spring break ski trip to the Alyeska Ski Resort at Girdwood. We stayed at the Alyeska hotel. Stuey did not go with us because of his leg, but the cousins were staying at the same hotel. Amazingly enough, Nora missed having Stuey along - and she even told me this quite a few times. I am hoping that this a sign of a new found appreciation for each other - maybe next time when we all travel together there will be no fighting? LOL
In year's past we have always had a tiny room with 2 beds crammed in there. Last year I slept next to the window behind the curtains while the kids took the beds. But this year, when there was just the 2 of us in the room, we got a HUGE corner suite with a couch. Go figure. Nora and I certainly had a lot of space to spread out our stuff!
We met up with the cousins on the slopes and did a lot of skiing. The cousins tended to ski ALL day, but Nora and I would ski a few hours, have lunch and then ski just a couple more hours in the afternoon. Why get exhausted when the hotel has a pool! At the pool I would alternate between the hot tub and the cold pool. I also managed to get in a XC ski every day.
At night we met us with the cousins for dinner. But one night Nora wanted to eat at a fancy restaurant with just the 2 of us. She chose 'Jack Sprat's' - a place I seem to eat at every year with adults only while the kids have had room service pizza. But not this year! Nora had duck and brussle sprouts while I had steak and king crab. WOW! For dessert I had a small glass of late harvest Muscat. Absolute heaven.
