Okay, I promised myself that I would actually blog and it has been almost a week. Gold star. So after work on Saturday, Nate and I headed up to Bellingham to visit Ashley which was definitely worth, despite the grueling two hour drive. Though I suppose I shouldn't complain too much because I'm certain that I slept at least half the way there. So we spent the evening eating mexican food at Jalapeno's and watching some of Ashley's sailing team partners devour fish bowl margaritas, which was entertaining to say the least. Side note: I would also just like to speculate that people need to stop thinking vegetarians want lettuce in everything they order. Especially iceberg. Come on people, let's face it- everyone enjoys some carbs and grease now and then. Anyway. So the next morning, Nate and I went to Mt. Baker for some skiing. It turned out to be pouring down rain but we stayed for a couple hour and appreciated the actual snow. I knew it existed somewhere. Spent that night making disastrous cream puffs with Ashley and then woke up and went to Baker again. This time there were seven inches of powder and it was absolutely INCREDIBLE. Pat, Nate, Ashley, and I were all super excited and embarked upon our adventure to the fated Chair Lift #5. Needless to say, the day was amazing and ended with me draining my savings account on a brand new pair of Dynastar Exclusive Legend Powder Skis. Sooo sweet. Tuesday was our last day, so after a night of tossing and turning every which way on Ashley's couch, Nate and I hopped in the car and took Chuckanut Road home. For those who don't know, this is the scenic route and absolutely stunning. It's like a little piece of the San Juan Islands, my home away from home. Overall, it wasn't Mexico but it was definitely a wonderful spring break vacation and everything happened like it was supposed to.
