Winter Blues

When February hits I am looking for the escape button on this winter.  It is not that I don't enjoy winter activities, I do but it has been extra cold and icy... so yeah I am done with it. For years we went skiing in northern NH with friends. Those are some of the best memories. We stayed at the Mountain View Grand. I fear telling people about this resort because then it will be so popular I won't be able to afford to go anymore. I have to say it is my families hands down favorite resort we have ever stayed in. Granted we have only stayed there in the winter, but it is always amazing. They have so many activities, you can rent ice skate or bring your own and enjoy their man made skating area. You can rent a tube and enjoy tubing on their property. They have trails to snow shoe, ax throwing (it is a thing) and even dog sledding. Those are just the out door activities, they have a lot inside as well. A small movie theater you can pick your own movie and they even deliver popcorn. A game room, wine tasing and so much more.  Some of the most magical memorable family friend trips happened there.

But alas, this year it was not in the cards, maybe next year. I do miss it!! It is my favorite way to embrace winter! This year I am thankful my daughter and I are having our own little get away.

When I left Disney last year I had been looking for an affordable way to get back, even if it was a very short visit! The flights to get to FL were not bad but what  was making this near impossible was the flight home. After being persistent enough I finally was able to secure a flight home that did not drain our vacation fund.  Our plan is to be in Disney World for two days, one day at Animal Kingdom and then one day enjoying the pool and Disney Springs. After that we're off to visit family and have some relaxation on the beach. 

My daughters favorite park in the world is Animal Kingdom. She LOVES Everest. Which always makes me laugh as she was super afraid of it for a long time, now she could go on it over and over! The animals are also a top priority here. We always make time for the Jungle Trek and Gorilla Falls  and of course the famous Safari ride. 

New for us this year will be River of Light. We had missed it the last time we were there. So we made reservations at Tusker House (a favorite of ours) with the River Light dining package, this way we know we will make it, and have reserved seats! So stay tuned for pictures and video.

Where would you adventure off to if you could go anywhere this winter?
