I've been skiing a bunch of times out west, but only once in the east. That running total held with a trip to
Wintergreen Resort in western Virginia that Rachel, Jackson, Tony, Terry, Emmet, Frances, and I won at last year's Takoma Children's School silent auction.
There was no snow and not many other tourists, which made the weekend a little odd but pretty relaxing. Or as relaxing as a weekend with three 5-ish-year-olds can be.
We took two decent-length hikes through the leafy, mountainous trails and mostly just explored the resort. There was also a kids' area that was pretty run-down and a miniature golf course that was probably the junkiest I've ever seen.
That said, it was a great place to take kids for a getaway from the Washington DC rat race.

Now I'm ready for a real ski trip, probably out west.
