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.
