Bulgaria and the World Cup

As you know, this past weekend we traveled to Bulgaria for yet another ski vacay.  This one was a bit different though, in that we happened to be there at the same time as the men's World Cup.  While this made for some crowded skiing, it was also a really neat experience and definitely not an opportunity you get very often.

In between watching we the pros ski, we hit the slopes ourselves.

The best part of the weekend though?

Humongous Milka chocolate bars.  Milka is amazing.

On the move again

Donovan and I are packing our bags yet again, this time making our way to Bulgaria.  Apparently the skiing in Italy isn't exciting enough anymore, so we're going to see what Bulgaria has to offer.  Either that or Donovan is in pursuit of Lindsay Vonn...we keep missing her by mere days.  Whatever the case may be, we're looking forward to another weekend of hitting the slopes!

I'll be back next week with lots of pictures.  Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Valentine's Day

Because Donovan is spending the day jumping out of a plane and won't be home until super late, we had our celebration last night.  Nothing fancy, just dinner at home.  Although in an effort to make homemade pizza slightly more romantic, we made it heart-shaped.

Pretty and yummy!  Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Ski Weekend

Last weekend we took advantage of an extra day (apparently the Superbowl is a valid reason to get Monday off) and took a little ski vacay.  We headed a couple hours north to Alpe di Suisi in the Dolomites, which is absolutely gorgeous.  The views were incredible and the skiing/snowboarding wasn't so bad either.

And of course no ski day is complete without a hot chocolate break.

For our second day on the slopes we moved a little further down the valley to a different ski area.

Another awesome weekend enjoying this amazing place we live!

Relaxing Weekend

Hello everyone!  So sorry that it's been awhile...it's been pretty quiet around here this last month.  Although come to think of it, I use that excuse a lot.  Hmm...

Anyhow, Donovan was gone for a couple weeks in January, which is the main reason we didn't do anything exciting.  So by the time he came home we were ready for a little fun.  On Saturday we headed about an hour away to the cute little town of Lazise, which is close to Lake Garda but is better know for its thermal pools.  Nothing says relaxation more than hot springs!

After our lovely night there, we checked out the actual town before driving home.  Being Sunday and during the off-season, it was pretty dead, but it was still fun to walk around.

In other news, we're actually getting our first little dusting of snow today.

And unfortunately it is just a dusting, but it's still been fun to watch it come down!
