Mount Washington Getaway!

We were lucky enough last week to be able to go to the Tennant's (people who are involved in camp) chalet and spend a few days in Mount Washington. We asked them if we would be able to borrow their chalet this summer for our leadership camp for a weekend getaway and they said yes! So we will be taking up our campers and cabin leaders up to this amazing place this summer! They also then said that we could come up for a few days now to check it out, and be able to come up with a game plan for the summer! So Jon and I went! It was really neat to go back to the same place (well different chalet, ours was a few doors down) that we spent our honeymoon, only in a different season! I have a hurt back right now (LAME) that made ithard for me to do many crazy things, but it was two days full of relaxation and fun!

Here is the chalet, all snowed in! To get to the door, you have to trek up the hill on the right, and then scramble overtop of the snow hill!
Going out for a walk
Getting ready for our snowboarding adventure!
Very excited!
Putting on my boarding boots that I havent worn in three years!! It feel sooo good to put them on again!
On the hill! I was only able to go down a few times before my back said NO MORE, but it was fun while it lasted! It's funny how it all comes back once you are out there.
Jon kept telling me how awful he was on a board, but he did great - really a natural, which is not at all surprising! He just loved his life this whole day!
Our last day there - in the background you can kind of see the buried interpretive center where we will be starting our hike from this summer! We were sad to leave, but had a really great time! We want to go back if at all possible sometime so that we can snowboard again, and try the night tubing that they have there!
I love when we get to go away and spend quality time together. We really are the best of friends, which means we always just have so much fun together.
