Our first big family vacation! We all piled into Ferry Godmother's Honda CRV and headed to Mammoth Mountain. It was unseasonably warm so we avoided snow sports and stuck to walking around town and shopping. Baby's first trip to the snow didn't actually involve her getting in any snow but next winter will be a whole different story!
P2 and Mama had a good bonding experience using the Baby Bjorn. We hiked all around town, P2 showed off her groovy new snow boots that Auntie S-Bar gave her.
The drive up was lovely and uneventful, we stopped off at the World's Best Jerky Shop where Papa Steve bought dried papaya or something like it. We passed The Hubcap Capital of the World without stopping...but its good to know about should you ever be in the market (I suppose).
We stayed in the Chateau Montagne...very impressive name, perfectly adequate accomodations. We had some great meals including Ferry Godmother's famous lasagna and two great meals at The Stove.
We had a gondola ride and did some shopping - I will post those pictures later on tonight, they are in Our Hero's camera.

Here is an unrelated story inspired by the Baby Bjorn reference.
I talked to a guy recently who saw Bjorn Borg at an Ikea in Stockholm, buying a dresser. He didn't recognize Borg until some woman started screaming, and then he realized who it was. He asked his Swedish friend what the woman was screaming. Answer: "She really wanted that dresser."
I'm sorry sorry I missed the trip. I'll be flying in this weekend though. Are you going whale watching with us Sunday? Your man is afraid of sharks, so I know he won't be joining us. I tried to explain that we don't actully pet the whales! But he can't take any chances that jaws isn't going to get him.
I can't wait to see you all. Hopefully the little one is feeling better so this auntie can take lots of pictures this weekend.
hugs & love
