Cabin Weekend

Ben's parents sent us a sum of money for Christmas with one restriction: it had to be used to build a family memory. You don't have to ask us twice! We found this amazing cabin rental in New Hampshire, referred to us by one of my piano student's parents. We felt like it was truly a hidden gem. It's located right above Lake Winnipesaukee, and just outside the backyard is this retired ski run that we were able to use as a sledding hill. It was a DREAM for a winter retreat! The best part: it was big enough to hold three families and was only $150/night total. We loved just sitting around relaxing with friends, letting the kids run wild, playing games, sledding, eating, talking, laughing. This is my kind of vacation! I'm pretty sure it will become a tradition for us. As you can see from the pictures, we didn't get as much snow as we had hoped, but it was just enough for the 4 and under crowd. These pictures were taken just as everyone was getting worn out and the snow was starting to melt. We'll hope for better snow next year!

I wish we could be part of that one with you. Guess you'll just have to make some Alaska memories too!

Looks like fun. And kind of a lame skiing hill, but hey, what can you expect from New Hampshire? Plus, a lame skiing hill doesn't necessarily mean a lame sledding hill, so you're good to go! Hooray for winter adventures!
