A Winter Weekend

Our weekend by the numbers:
  • Three days
  • 16 total hours of driving (for us)
  • Eleven people driving hundreds of miles from Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Washington DC
  • One ski resort -- Wisp -- in western Maryland
  • At least 3 feet of snow (or so it seemed!)
  • One gorgeous house with plenty of sleeping room for everyone
  • Approximately one ton of food (seriously, there was more food than we could ever eat in a weekend thanks to mom!)
  • Five delicious meals
  • 10+ hours of skiing
  • One funny Brian Regan DVD
  • Three tense games of marbles (boys vs. girls -- girls lost :(
One amazing family (plus some wonderful additions -- Logan and Heidi) together for a weekend that was way too short, but blessed.

And now for the visuals...

Ben and Heidi outside the house we stayed in. Watch out for the icicle above the door!

Good thing no one had any plans to use the grill on the back deck...
