The Other Washington-home Sick

So close to home, yet so far. I love seeing the mountains of Vancouver BC! If I was not trying to be a responsible adult, I think I know where I would choose to be. Not in DC, but rather BC. Growing up we went on a family Thanksgiving ski trip up to Whistler and visited Vancouver and Victoria BC during various seasons. It's surely grown SO much since those days... still beautiful as ever! Watching the Olympics is so inspiring. It's become a daily tradition for a girl who grew up asking Mom if we could set some family rules to limit how much time we watched TV.

I love watching while I am at the gym trying to bear the treadmill, I love watching it while eating dinner (not a good habit, I must say), I love watching it when it's past my bedtime, I love watching it when I should be headed out the door.... Go team USA!!!

Goals for when I return to a land of mountains and snow: take up cross-country skiing as a winter hobby and continue to enjoy snow shoeing adventures... snowboarding is also a dream skill I'd like to work on with my brother.

My roommate, Aubrey, was watching this video again this morning, and I just love it too. If you have already watched it, I'm sure you'll enjoy it again :)
