This past winter, my husband and I packed up all of our ski gear and headed to the mountains for a couple of weeks. It was very exciting for us, as it is the first trip we have taken together without the kids, since becoming parents over five years ago. We were ready for some powder and a glass of wine in the hot tub afterwards.

My husband had wanted this trip to be very special. He booked us romantic lodge in which we could ski right up to our back door. He went all out on this. There was an amazing fireplace, we had our own hot tub and we slept in pure silk bedding. I was in heaven and I never wanted to leave.

It was amazing that I still remembered how to ski. We hit the slopes everyday that we were there and went into town for dinner a few times. We managed to get in some shopping time, so we could grab some souvenirs for the kids. All in all, it was wonderful and I can’t wait to do it again.
