I’m off to Mammoth for our second annual Super Bowl weekend ski trip!
I was asked recently what my hobbies are and the first thing I said was “travel!” followed closely by “and gym, yoga, playing sports …” but if you look at my calendar, it’s basically all travel all the time. It’s exhausting. But fun! But exhausting. And perhaps I should add that rolled into “travel” is “friends traveling to see me” which is AWESOME and I am grateful that my friends love me and love travel and love to travel to see me but is also exhausting.
Nonetheless, this past weekend, my friends traveled to see me and it was so fun to play tour guide in my hometown (I STILL don’t feel like I really re-know this town, but I’m getting there …)
