Wintergreen Resort.

We decided to get away for a few days ...

So we went to the Wintergreen Resort.
Oh my stars ... it was FANTASTIC!!

It's only about an an hour and a half drive from our house, so it was a very easy drive. It's located on the Blueridge Mountain Range. I can not tell you how much fun we had!! We rented a condo and played in the snow for quite awhile on Saturday. This time of year, they had no natural snow fall ... it was all man made ... but honestly ... who could tell the difference? I had a ton of other pictures I was trying to load, but Blogger would only allow me to load 10.


This is a sign of all of the fun activities available at Wintergreen Resort


Mike, Griffin and Bett getting ready to snow tube on "The Slide" area of the resort. We did this over and over (yes even I did it too!) ... it was SO much fun!


And a picture of them at the bottom of the hill

Isn't this gorgeous? I took this from one of the lookouts at the top of the mountain


And another skiing trail


And this is a picture of the local firefighters that paid a visit to our condo. We had a fireplace in our room and smoke was coming into our room even though we did not have a fire going. Bett called the office and expressed a concern and they dispatched the fire department. We had no idea the fire department was coming. Mike had closed the damper on the fireplace which remedied the problem, so we thought no more of it ... until we heard the fire engines coming and then the fire fighters knocking at our doors. They used this little machine thing to make sure there was no fire in the fireplace, which of course there wasn't. Griffin was in Heaven!! He loved meeting "real life" fire fighters.
