Daydreaming about vacation homes

Ebi getting ready to hit the slopes.
I believe my girls are at the perfect age - 3.5 and 5.5.  They are still young enough to possess the preciousness of being little girls, but old enough where we can simply do so many fun things together as a family.  Last weekend, we went to Mountain Creek for the weekend.  Both L and E rocked their lessons.  Lauren spent a few hours one-on-one with Tae doing some runs.  There was minimal traffic to Vernon, NJ and absolutely no traffic coming back home. 

After I got home, I started looking for vacation homes.  How much is a 3-bedroom slopeside condo in Dover, VT (where Mt. Snow is)?  How much are property taxes?  Can we pull this off financially?  Even so, Tae and I have full-time careers.  How will we find the time to enjoy it?  Admittedly, this was not the first time I daydreamed about a vacation home.  I get into this mode every summer after dishing over $5,000 for a week-long rental in Montauk. 

This is the perfect example of dreaming big.  We may never get a second home.  But we definitely won't get it if we don't start with a dream or goal.  Most importantly, I am just so grateful to have my family and enjoy our blessed lives together.


Hands on knees!

I told Ebi not to eat snow.  And of course, in true Ebi fashion, she ate snow.
