Here was the weather forecast this past Thursday, the day I was to leave for my girls trip...
It was a nightmare!! Here was the scene at the airport...
My lonely plane was not going anywhere. They closed most of the highways and eventually the airport. Friday, when I was supposed to be skiing, I was trying to rebook. I was number 57 on the standby list for Friday, but I was guaranteed a seat on the 2:35 pm flight on Saturday. At that point, I knew I had been defeated. This trip was just not meant to be. 2 of my friends beat the storm and made it out to Breck, but 4 of us did not. Friday night the 4 of us decided to grab our hubbies and go out to dinner and toast the fact that we might not be skiing, but if this was our biggest disappointment then we should consider ourselves lucky!!
Since my trip was canceled, it was so nice to have a weekend with absolutely no plans. My kids had lots of friends over for sledding since we have a great hill in our back yard. I had lots of messes to clean up...
my foyer apres- sledding
I did a little shopping. I picked up this sweater from H&M...
and this shirt from JCrew...
We took our kids to a hibachi restaurant, where they throw fire, do tricks with utensils, and cook everything right in front of you and everyone had a blast...
then we let our kids build a big fort in our family room and sleep in it...
Sunday I got a little massage...
met the hubby at one of our favorite tapas restaurants for a late lunch...
then came home to watch the oscars. My favorites of the night...
was I the only one under-whelmed??
and of course the disasters of the night...
this girl just seems to embarrass herself where ever she goes
Sunday night I got a call from my friend who made it out to Colorado, A huge blizzard hit Denver Sunday morning, all flights were canceled.
she is now stand-by on a 6pm flight home tonight!!
Oh gosh! Sorry about your sking trip Jill but it looks like you had a very fun weekend at home anyhow! Maybe it just wasn't meant to be this time round:)

Oh my word, that's too bad about skiing but it looks like y'all still had fun. H&M is coming to Nashville and I'm beside myself with glee. That last dress, eek, poor girl seems desperate. I did love Naomi Watts and Jennifer A though:) Happy Monday.
ReplyDeletewhat a bummer! But,at least you aren't stuck in Denver!
ReplyDeletewell, I have to say, at least you got to witness thee coolest fort ever I my opinion. How cool are you that you let your kids do that?

Despite cancellation you still had fun. I agree I thoughts Naomi watts looked the best hard to believe she only had a baby recently .
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great weekend despite the missed trip. Your fort building skills exceed mine! My boys are still young enough that I can put them both in Bennett's rib, through a blanket over it and tell them they are in the jungle :) I am new to your blog and look forward to reading more!
