Ski Weekend

When we told The Dragon Boss that this was a 3-day weekend, he said, Take me to the mountains. So we're off early tomorrow morning to the van Often's house near Truckee, a 3 hour drive, with a promise of an early lunch at the Tahoe drive institution, Ikeda's. That'll be Baleen's first Ikeda stop in her half dozen trips up there and my first in probably 60 trips over 12 years.

That early morning departure means our bags are packed (feeding and packing TDB into his carseat should take at least half an hour of constant activity) so I spent a good half hour in the garage yesterday trying to find all our winter clothing, including TDB's various one-pieces from REI, Hanna Anderson and Patagonia.

I haven't packed the heavy winter gloves as it'll be 45 and sunny on Saturday and Sunday, but when the sun goes down it'll dip below freezing. That's when father and sun pull out the ski sweaters.
