Mini-Vacation

This past week will (hopefully!) have been my last "Reading Week". I say that in quotation marks because very little or no school readings are accomplished during this time, so the title is more than a little ironic. It is just so nice to have a little time away from the stress and being able to relax before final essays and exams. They will undoubtedly be plaguing me again soon, and this year I really appreciated the time away. This past week, Jeff and I were able to reconnect in a way that reminded me of when we first started dating - it was awesome. We headed up to Blue Mountain for a few days, which will always be a special place for us, as it was where we took our first real 'vacation' together, and we both just love it so much. It's really one of the best places to ski or snowboard in Ontario, and it has a Whistler-esque feel to it, which makes it really really fun. We took in the shops, went to dinner, swam in the pool at our hotel, enjoyed the outdoor hot tubs, and hit the hill. Although I did very little snowboarding due to my back, it was still a really fun time. I really appreciate this time with Jeff, and I hope we're always able to escape up to Blue Mountain, if only for a day or two.

Vacations are awesome, even when you don't go very far away.
