B will be 20 years old, and from what we saw last week, he's right on schedule to make it to the 2026 Winter Olympics.
We all went to Colorado for a week to do some relaxing and some skiing. M is a decent skiier and pretty confident in his abilities. We brought my mom along to help with the kids, and back in the day, she was really good, too. She had no trouble getting right back at it. I'm a beginner...I went 10 years ago, and oh gosh, I was so rusty. It was diffcult for me, especially since I am scaredy-cat and don't like to go too fast. It's still something I want to keep trying, but I'm content knowing I'm not very good at it now!
But back to B. We got him on some of the tiniest skiis in the world and he had no fear. He amazed us! He kept telling us, "I want to go FAST!" which is exactly the opposite of what his mommy was trying to do. Ha. Outskiied by my 3 year old!
We'd like to take a trip next year, but we will definitely avoid Spring Break. We caught a little bit of the Spring Break crowd (it was unavoidable due to M's work schedule and responsibilities), and we'd prefer to go when the slopes are less crowded. We'll probably put B in ski school, and I could probably benefit from some lessons, too. And J should be big enough then for us to get him in some skiis.
We haved enjoyed taking trips with our boys. We haven't traveled the world. We've seen a lot of the country while on our drum corps tours. But we've never done a lot of traveling. Now that we have kids, we love making new memories together. We don't feel like we missed out by not traveling more as a childless couple. Experiencing new things as a family means so much more. And sure, the boys won't remember a whole lot from some of these trips, but we sure will. Our next trip isn't a vacation, but we're going to hit the beaches of Northwest Florida at some point and spend some time with old friends both in Florida and Alabama. Looking forward to it and all the chaos of traveling with a toddler and a preschooler.

Don't you love kids showing you up? I think God gave me kids to keep me in check! Loved the story.
If you are looking for a spot in NW Florida (and like quiet), try Cape San Blas. It's beautiful, quiet, the beaches are perfect, and dolphins play along the beaches every day. It's my family's little piece of heaven.
