That is fantastic! AKV?
I can't believe how far behind I've fallen in your trip report.All caught up now though. I'm so glad that your kids enjoyed their snow day. I always loved snow up until about the time that I got my drivers license and my parents wouldn't let me drive while there was snow on the ground.
Luckily while we've been getting snow up here, it hasn't been too bad. I try not to complain, because I'd much rather have snow than the ice storms we seemed to get continually last year. I think this year it's just been way too cold to snow most of the time. Seriously I don't know if I can take one more morning of my car telling me it's about 15 degrees out. Someone told me it's going to be about 40 tomorrow. Heat wave!!!
The good thing about working in Manhattan is that all the snow disappears. You see it fall, and the next day they've dragged it all out of the city. Not a flake anywhere. I want them to do that at home too.
I'm so in for this! My mother and I where telling my nieces that if we go up to NH with them this winter we are going to try snow tubing. I think one of the mountains near them in North Conway has the tubing. The nieces seem to think I need to try to learn to ski. Soooo not going to happen. I just know I'd kill myself.
Both my DS's did learn to ski & snow board though from school. I did try cross country skiing once & the next day every muscle in my body (some I did not know I had) hurt so bad I never did that again. But I have many friends that ski but just not for me.
My brother keeps trying to get me to move to MD and take a principal job How does the teacher's union handle that?? I could not manage that. You must be excellent at making a budget 
The utility bills have to be in line with the housing costs here I guess. I'm ready to rub two sticks together to make a fire in my living room
Teachers in Georgia get paid once a month???
NYC public school teachers get paid twice a month. I work at a university lab school, so I get paid every 2 weeks.
I was born & raised here in NH but do NOT ski. The thought of going down a huge snow covered mountain on 2 slippery pieces of wood does not appeal to me
My two nieces adore it. The younger one (age 6) is a bit of a menace to the slopes. She has one speed, blistering fast. At nearly 40, I told them I was way too old to learn to ski no matter how much fun they tell me it is. Going down the mountain in a tube is much more my speed.
They don't kick you out of the state if you don't ski?
I thought you should know that I broke down and bought my first Vera.
A mini hipster is my park bag, too. Amen, sister!
We bought DVC in 2009, and we'll be taking our first trip "home" in December. Can't wait!
or are you still trying to decide yourself?
I am poor all the time, and even moreso in the winter. Disney has taken all my 'extra' money for the last five years on a regular basis.
When the furlough days were announced for us in August, my first comment was, "The Mouse is not going to like this." Brooklynn is not coming. I thought a play might be a little long for her, and I wanted to give Jill a day all to herself, too. It'll be a special treat for just grown-ups.
Brooklynn is going to love seeing Mary Poppins and having that special breakfast that is all about her!
I can't believe how far behind I've fallen in your trip report.
a mini hipster...it's on ;my pre tr..
Love the tea idea!!!!! It's such a nice afternoon treat! You probably already know this, but I'm going to throw it out there just in case - they have chocolate milk as well to serve with the tea for non-tea drinkers.
Jackie so funny about the Boris and Natasha to Connor and Chelsea's Rocky and Bullwinkle! So appropriate....
How did you get so clever?
I also think that Coppertone fits Laura to a T!
The hidden Smiley for MeMom was perfect too!
Happy to say, I'm all caught up now!
Heading over to check out Cherie's new Vera!
I know my boys totally dig the arcade! Maybe that is a good Charles and Connor plan ??
