One of our favorite ‘holidays’ is National Ice Cream for Breakfast day, which falls on the first Saturday in February. Our local artisan ice cream place, which is also just a few blocks from our house, opens at 7 am that day with breakfast-themed flavors. Pajamas are encouraged.
Usually, I’d be in my jammies too, but I was headed out from here to go skiing at Holiday Valley!

A friend of mine from church, who is also a veteran, got me hooked up with a local veteran’s group–Higher Ground–and I joined them on an all-day skiing event! Holiday Valley is a much larger ski resort than Kissing Bridge, so it was a real treat to go somewhere with so many more runs. To top it off, it was a beautiful (but cold!) blue sky day!

I skied most of the day with my friend and a new friend, and I was also able to ski a bit with a good friend from home who skis there every weekend. It was a lovely day and a huge blessing to have some adult time, outside, being active, with beautiful weather.
