Recently, my husband was having a conversation with a friend of ours. This particular friend is an extreme sports type of person. He was mentioning an upcoming trip with another friend to a mini-skiing trip before a larger group went somewhere (I think Vienna) for a more intense skiing trip. To my surprise, my husband mentioned that he always wanted to do some sort of snow trip. (I learn something new about him every year!) I encouraged my husband to go with the guys on their mini-trip when they go snow-boarding and skiing to nearby Pennsylvania. I even said that I would get him snow gear for his birthday this month.
That conversation made me wonder why we never thought of going away as a family during the cold months. Besides going to Virginia to visit my family for the holiday (which isn’t REALLY a vacation), I never really thought about it. So, now I’m considering visiting some nearby winter family getaways…
Do you take winter family vacations with your young kids? If so, where do you normally go?
