I'm pretty sure that every year of my entire growing up life we traveled somewhere warm during spring break. My mom was prone to catching the fever this time of year, the spring fever, the sick-of-the-cold-ready-for-warm-weather fever. I apparently am just like my mom.
Unfortunately I didn't make any travel plans this spring break and the weather in Reno has been crappy. We tried to alleviate some of the symptoms of my fever by planning a two night staycation. Swimming would be sure to help right?
Our staycation included a two night stay at the Peppermill. We did enjoy their wonderfully heated pools that were nice even in a crazy, record breaking spring snow storm.

I'm ready for summer, but if it's going to snow, we're going to try and make the best of it. So on Monday we headed up to the mountain to enjoy the fresh foot of snow. Powder and people less than 60 pounds don't mix very well. It feels more like cross-country skiing than down-hill skiing. Whiny kids and a whiny mom made for a short ski day.

I was ready to be done with Mt. Rose for the season, but gave it another shot with a different approach a couple days later. The kids happily watched a movie in the lodge while Shay and I took turns making runs. This was much better.
Now I'm just hoping for wonderfully warm weather in Reno and snow up at the mountain. Is that too much to ask for?
