Every mile is two in winter. ~George Herbert

I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter.  Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show.  ~Andrew Wyeth 

“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.”

~Edith Sitwell

“A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.”
~Carl Reiner

 The day we arrived at the resort a snow storm started, and any patch of land that had not been covered in snow, from previous flurries was covered with more than 2 feet now! The trip there was long, 6-7 hours but totally worth it! Once we got the the actual lodge and checked in. My dad got the room keys and started to head out to the van to drive to the part of the lodge where we were staying. As he was leaving he hit his head on an unmarked broken door hinge {or something}. Started bleeding and asked the desk clerk for some cool rags and a band-aid. The guy returned with a alcohol swab!

Guess he didn't know you don't put alcohol on an open wound. o well... my dad lost his temper. {which i would consider normal} and the manger called our room and said that she gave us a free night at the lodge, a free buffet dinner for the family, and tubing passes! Which is kinda funny because the whole reason we went on this trip was because we had a coupon for buy two nights get the third free, and we had two rooms so it ended up coming out like buy one night get one night free! haha my dad's head is alright now, just a little scar from where he hit his head.  

and after the long trip down the mountain{s} this is our lovely car! not-so-lovely right now!

anybody els do anything fun with there winter vacation?
