Gil found a condo on an app called Airbnb and it ended up being the perfect place. Close to the mountain, cute, and way cheaper than staying in a hotel.
The mountain was beautiful and the views were amazing. The first day of skiing was a little rough for me because I was breaking in a new pair of ski boots and as I said many times that day, my feet felt like they were in a silent prison. I had to stop a couple of hours early while everyone else kept skiing. However, day 2 and 3 of skiing were much more comfortable and so much fun.
Sunday and Monday were better skiing days because it was less crowded than Saturday, too. There was a Red Bull competition going on so it was a little crazy busy the first day. Skiing was so much more fun when it was less crowded (haha, Tina).
Monday was the best ski day because the temperature had dropped, which made the snow way more ski-able. It practically felt like we had the mountain to ourselves this day and we had considered not skiing that day. Glad we decided to go out!
On the way home, we took the scenic route and drove by the 1000 islands , which was pretty cool. As you can imagine, it was a bunch of islands. It was interesting to see houses built on them. I can't really imagine living on an actual tiny island.
We also took a quick ferry trip across to Ottawa, which was kinda fun. In typical Sue fashion, I had an awkward moment when I put the car window down to pay, realized we didn't need to pay yet, awkwardly said "Hi!" to the attendant, and then put my window back up. Strange looks ensued from said attendant.
We got home on Tuesday night and picked Laila up from daycare on Wednesday. She has done nothing but sleep deeply for several days now. My favorite.
And after some very cold temps in Canada, I am happy to say that it is finally starting to seem like spring around Michigan.
I have aqua shoes to prove it!
Now hurry up warm weather!
